American Experience. The Abolitionist.

Looks pretty good. So far. Speaks directly to some issues discussed here lately.

Just debunked any theory that slavery was not economically viable as they were the most valuable commodity in the country other than the land itself.

theres some validity to it, especially when slaves didn't want to be kept.

I'd love to hear the debunking he's talking about.

Bottom line, it was never a sustainable model, and Whites didn't just give it up from the kindness of their hearts.

Props to abolitionists though, people who stood on the right side of history.

wurd.

and it wasn't just the labor of cotton, rice and sugar production, it was the SALE of negro slaves which generated much of the wealth for the white man and this country.
