re: #121 Charles

No doubt, the vast majority of the power in the Confederate South was in the hands of whites. But if you look at the issue of slavery throughout history, it’s a human problem, not just a black-white one.

I’m not sure what you mean when you say it was a “human problem”. By the mid-1800’s, many human societies had renounced slavery, including the northern United States.

Were there other kinds of master-slave relationships in human history? Sure. Are they relevant to the southern US? I don’t see how.
