[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jeff The Card: [QB] Supply and demand. Washington, Jefferson, and others had demand for slaves. Shit, look how much the slave population at Mount Vernon increased. Because of this demand (yes, part of it was satisfied by births within the slave population, but not all), more ships went out to Africa, captured some natives (yes, with help of other African tribes), and carried them back to the U.S. It's all one big, vicious circle, and for all their noble talk about how bad slavery was, they still bought slaves. They helped perpetuate the system, and if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. No offense, Omega. But as far as slavery goes, they certainly weren't part of the solution. Why not free the slaves once they had their "education?" Why not send them back to Africa? Because these great, noble, Founding Fathers that you idolize [i]weren't[/i] perfect, and stop trying to cover up their not-so-nice aspects. [/QB][/QUOTE]
