Perhaps enslaving, torturing, murdering, and raping people might one day result in a negative outcome for the slavemasters? Fancy that. My heart bleeds for them.
If you live entirely on the proceeds of slavery, you are likely to be killed if the slaves revolt. This is not a matter of ethics. If you live on a boat that sinks, you are likely to drown.
Even whites who had been friendly and sympathetic to the black population were imprisoned and later killed.[3] A second wave of massacres targeted white women and children.[3]
So, basically, they deserved it. How nice. This is how good people can support mind-boggling evil.
The British Empire managed to abolish slavery without anything remotely so horrific as the Haitian Revolution. As a result, former British colonies are what, hellholes? And Haiti is a paradise on Earth?
You are likely inheritor to the American Abolitionist tradition, which managed to abolish slavery by fomenting a Civil War that, in its wake, claimed the lives of a quarter of the newly freed slaves—approximately a million people. Does your heart bleed for them? Or to the dead do you say, at least you aren't slaves?
Wow, a downvote already? Under 5 minutes—that's impressive. Who is still even reading this thread? Bloodthirsty assholes, I guess, or maybe neo-Abolitionists. (But I repeat myself.)
