Slavery was never on the menu. Outside of punishment for crimes it has always been unconstitutional under the first amendment. The first amendment was written by an incredibly smart lawyer who wanted to end slavery and literally wrote it to apply to all people. So it would require absolutely no laws to change for it to be outlawed only the social norms to change and recognize the first amendment applies to all people
The 13th amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
My attitude is, get your own tea. Don't say, 'get me tea.'
Maybe that keeps me on a small plot of land, living lean. Shortage of labor. I can't have enough sons to expand. Well the simple life might have to be all right.
The individual is the ultimate reality, and that is also where you get personal accountability. A slave has no personal accountability.
In time, not taking personal responsibility becomes acceptable, just in another building. But it eventually comes over to your building. In time you lose your faith in it altogether. Then you are lost, and G-d is angry. He didn't want to talk to a cabbage. He wanted to talk to someone with personal accountability. Using slavery, you slithered away from personal accountability.
To have slaves, you have to talk to them. That eventually leaks back onto you.
I do see your point and it is true, but I am objecting.
Democrats everywhere rub their hands together in feral glee...

I'm fine with enslaving white liberals.
Did he really say this?
Amendments can be repealed. But only the states, and the people, can do it. And it’s very very difficult to do.
And no sane person would vote to limit their own freedoms.
He said it in his “ghost gun” “speech”, yesterday
Let's just end women's suffrage.

Slavery has always been legal....
Slavery is icky.

I think we knew he was a flaming imbecile long before this.
