>>96368441>What's wrong with slavery?Okay since you wanna act like you're "feelsies over realsies," do you really wanna keep feeding and housing a pet to do the menial work when machines are on the horizon?
>>96368389>Why would anyone commit economic suicide for moralfaggotryYou wanna act all cerebral and no nonsense, yet you don't realize that it was an industry bound to pop. You already had so many slaves trying to flee when the free states were being made. So many resources were being made to hunt them down and hurting your business in the process. Preserving the union through abolishing slavery could be argued as a better economic investment.
>Ethnic cleansing of IndiansWasn't the North causing shit at Wounded Knee, it was the Feds as a whole. And as for during the war, a lot of tribes allied with the Union, but then some allied with the Confederacy, and those who sided with the latter ended up losing their tribe's treaties with the Feds. It wasn't a purge by the North, it was consequences of being on the losing team. Germany could learn a thing or two about that.
>Western countries ending it willy nillyNot that anon, but this is true. South America was a bloodbath, both with the Europeans seizing the land and the retaliation later on.
But if anything, this should be definitive proof to even the coldest of investors or "facts not feelings" teens that this is an "industry" that can only end disastrously: You're dealing in human lives reduced to being below that, and they are only going to take that punishment for so long. I think it'd be safe to say that an uprising in the South would have been an inevitability.
