[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay: [QB] I do love it when I see the same rationalizations and justifications for slavery that the slave owners used themselves so long ago. Good one. Now we just have to include what Paul wrote in the Bible, and we'll have their religious justification to round out the bunch. Now, if anyone wants to talk about the practical application of keeping slaves slaves, go read the laws that outlawed teaching slaves to read and write. And then go read about all the social and cultural justification about the uneducated "childlike" status of slaves. Slavery was not just a circumstance, but a system that kept one people in its place for the service and economic growth of another people. And it is intellectually dishonest to write of slaves a being mere children and therefore bound to their lives as property when the culture and laws prevented them from anything but. Jefferson was part of that systemic effort. [/QB][/QUOTE]
