Once again, trying to put words in my mouth. I never denied northern involvement. I just said it pale in comparison to Southern exploitation.

Slavery was a dying institution. Technology and public sentiment were overcoming slavery. I've wondered why Lincoln never tried diplomacy? Had cooler heads prevailed, slavery would have died in less than 10 years, the country could have reunited voluntarily, and without the stranglehold of centralized power in Washington, DC.

The raw, historical data shows Yankees were complicit in the slave trade and profitted off slave products, you racist, dumb-fuck Yankee jackass.

Those were the numbers that were BROUGHT to America. That is NOT the number that were held as slaves.

They had children, generation after generation from 1619 to 1865 in the US. 246 years. Their population grew. There were a lot more than a million by the time the Civil War ended.

How many of them died early due to neglect - just like all those in Communist labor camps?

How many slaves that should have lived to 60 years of age died at, say, 40-something due to a typhus outbreak or flu outbreak from being in cramped, filthy slave quarters?

How many died prematurely in their 40s and 50s - but looked like they were in their 70s - from overwork and poor nutrition?

The Russians and Chinese didn't operate gas chambers the way the Nazis did. Some were shot outright for being dissidents. But most were sent to "re-education" camps. Some came back home, but many/most were just worked, abused, and neglected while prisoners for years until they died. Kind of like North Korea today.

If the average lifespan of an inmate of a Chinese labor camp or Soviet gulag was 10 years shorter than the average lifespan of a Chinese or Russian who was NOT imprisoned, you count those interned people as part of the 20 million dead, right?

Well, if you found out that the average lifespan of an American slave in the South was 5 or 10 years SHORTER than the average lifespan of a white person or a free black from the north, do you not count those premature deaths as being caused by slavery?

Also, if you want to REALLY figure out what is worse, you have to look at percentages. Individuals who are not imprisoned don't experience the depredations of those who are imprisoned. There is no such thing as vicarious suffering or vicarious death.

So, to know which system was worse, you have to look at the probability that the average person ends up suffering premature death and endures extreme hardship. Let's double the 20 million number to 40 million people who died prematurely from starvation, hard labor and various other depredations at the hands of the commies.

For most of the Communist era, the Russians had about 250 million people. The Chinese over a billion. Round it off to 1.2 billion (that's probably a low number). So, 40 million (that's a high number) out of 1.2 billion had early deaths under communism. That is about 3.3 percent of the total population. And that is a HIGH number. it was probably closer to 2%.

Now, let's look at blacks living under slavery. Do you really think the percentage who died early is less than 10%? Slave masters couldn't get much work out of 50 year old field hands that were bent over with arthritis. They might have been somewhat more protective of young slaves who were still productive "property". But what advantage was there to giving medical care, healthy food, and proper shelter to older slaves?

The number of blacks dying prematurely under slavery was surely higher than 2% or even 3.3%.

So, if you had to choose which system to live under, which would you choose?

Live in China under the communists and take a 3.3% risk of dying early?

Or live as a slave in the American south in the 1800s and take a 10% (probably higher) risk of dying early?

Remind me again how the life of an American slave was better than living under communism?

All of this takes a whole lot of MENTAL MASTERBATION. Aren't yuo tired.

A little. But not tired enough to screw up the spellings of "masturbation" and "you".

Cite a solitary IBH post in this thread that didn't address at least one of your obsessive and petulant insults, you racist, dumb-fuck Yankee jackass! BTW, noticed how you cut and run -- DODGED -- when you choked on the facts, you racist, dumb-fuck Yankee jackass. Still waiting, you racist, dumb-fuck Yankee jackass.

Third. We furthermore ordain and declare that all rights acquired and vested under the Constitution of the United States, or under any act of Congress passed in pursuance thereof, or under any laws of this State, and not incompatible with this ordinance, shall remain in force and have the same effect as if this ordinance had not been passed.

I hit a couple of wrong keys and didn't look before I hit submit. That is not nearly as bad as all the stupid shit that you spelled right.

[Yssup Rider]

Horrible. All the right leaning Confederate sympathizers are standing up for the South.

Great job, assholes.

America is proud of you.
