you are right, slavery is always about exploitation,...HOWEVER i dont think its always about race, which is what people wanna jump to first
ok,...so y'all may lynch me for sayin this myself,....but yep, for the time period,.....i see slavery as a different kind fo social system, and one that was implimented for agricultural purposes,......yes, there were just as many poor whites workin fields as their were black,....do you think black people are the only folks out there who know how to pick cotton? if you read more about the king cotton south you'll learn that there were all different races doing this work, that information is compiled through old journals and the like of the time,......room and board counting as payment,.....yes, in my mind, in that time, i feel that it did,.....
sure is slavery is wrong, but it happened, and its not the end of the world like people wanna make it out to be
