re: #40 The Ghost of a Flea

The British and the USians got in on the action. Slaving was an entrepreneurial opportunity with no national boundaries.

Weirdly, I’m listening to a book tape on the Underground Railroad at this very instant, and one of the arguments made by Quakers for abolitionism was precisely that slavery led one away from the do-it-yourself ethic of Protestantism.

So you shouldn’t hire help either? The cause may have been noble, but that argument strikes me as weak.
