        The troubles of slavery insurrections was deemed great. The existence of slavery tended to debase and discourage free labor. Slavery one of the main causes of the Civil War.  The profits from slave holding were illy earned. Except under the most the most favorable conditions, were uncertain.

         The cotton's production always resorted to slavery. The North believed in having free "blacks" have jobs. NO slaves. It has changed my view of the south's past. SLAVES! WHY?!?!  Slaves played an important part in the south's product ability. It just brings an endless waterfall of tears to my soul...  snivel

     It is inhumane to rip an innocent family apart. I wish it would never had happened. So many causes so few reasons...

    WHY did they resort to kidnapping unknowing people??????

    Soon you will have more thought provoking questions. If I wrote a book about this it would send chills through your blood.
