[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Jackson? Haven't heard about that one. Apologist? I apologize for nothing, because I did nothing wrong. Tell me: what was the better alternative? What would YOU have had Jefferson and Washington do that was so much better than what they did? Release the slaves immediately? Because we've already established that they would simply have died for lack of food, or else been taken advantage of and sold right back into slavery, probably to a far more unpleasant owner. Thus again I ask, what's your proposal that's be so much better? [i]Welfare for slaves? By making them work in the fields and live in shacks?[/i] A) You know nothing about the conditions in which the slaves in question lived. Don't presume that you do. B) A couple decades of service in exchange for the education that is the only way that the slaves and their decendents will ever be free for any length of time. Sounds like an equitable deal, especially when there's not a better one to be made or found by either party. [/QB][/QUOTE]
