I also know my grandmother, not my great grandmother, my mom's mom, was full blooded Cherokee. Hell you can go down south and collect stories hundreds of miles apart, it'll almost be just like pasting an excerpt.
Yes, my point was without Abe, the eventual central bank would not have existed.
I'll also argue that the slaves were in poverty regarding food, clothes, sanitation, and were illiterate, until they were sold. They probably helped the south due to a better life... Weird to hear, I suppose.. .. just my take, anyway.
Ironically without Abe I doubt we'd have had the IRS become the machine it is, ensuring everyone be a slave today. But hey, that was abolished..
It's a long subject, Irish, black sharecroppers, black slave owners, some slaves in the south not being treated nicely, but I believe that would be the exception, not the rule, again, it is the victors that write the history books. And they say different than old family stories, I can promise you that.
When you can't argue the facts, you derogate the historians. This is just ad hominem under another guise.
And the "slaves were much better off" argument does not wear well, considering the death, torture, and torment of their captivity, transportation, and subjugation. Did Frederick Douglass sing the praises of slavery? You misjudge your audience.
More proper to say: had the South not chosen Civil War, Lincoln would have had no incentive to create an income tax to help pay for it. Let's get our cause and effect straight.

The victors write the history books, and you read them.
That is such a pat answer. Who says so? Prove it. And then prove that the history books are false. You've run out of argument.
You've run out of critical thinking skills due to your biases.
