“Dear President,
You should run the Churkeys out and give us their stuff. Because if we steal stuff, we can have more stuff than if we had to, you know, work for it, since we don’t like to work and we need the dough we do get for booze.”

Don’t forget the reason that slavery was introduced in America: the original planters were too lazy to do the work themselves and too cheap to actually pay someone to do it. Plus the Native Americans they tried to force into labor would just run off into the wilderness and join other free Natives.

They needed to import people who were foreign to the region, less likely to r-u-n-n o-f-f-t and immediately identifiable as such.
