ACW History becoming one sided

[Rhalius]

While slavery is an outdated concept now, dont forget that it was commonly accepted for the most part of history.
Africans who where sold to america are but a small fraction of the entire history of slavery across the world.

Guys I must insist again you keep on topic.
If the talk mostly goes about history facts this topic should be on another board and not in "Brainstorming for Playmobil"

Slavery in it's old concept, yes. But slavery is manifested in many ways.

I've never looked at the North being "right" because they won.  The southern states were fighting to maintain a way of life that kept an entire race of people in bondage.  Sorry south, you're the "bad" guys.  Sure African-Americans weren't treated that great anywhere in America, but if that was you, where would you want to live and  who would you fight for?
Wait, why are we talking about this???

Oh believe me, I definitely don't condone slavery! That was not my point.

Oh I know Bonnie, I wasn't trying to imply that.  Just the notion, not just yours, that the victor is always the righteous party.  Anyway, enough off-topic slavery discussion.  Pretty depressing subject really.

Now let's get back to all those little people we purchased over the years who we will likely never let go and put them to work on whatever projects we can come up with.
