You don't seem
to understand much about human nature. Slavery was not just an economic
issue.
It was a way of life and cheap self esteem. It was the dark pleasure of
having absolute power over others. Slavery had deeply corrupted the South.
To think that the results of slavery were typically benign or even neutral is
fantasy. It is also naive to think that the slave
masters would ever have voluntarily given up their corrupt power. Don't just
focus on the shallow economics oriented histories, consider and read about
the social/psychological realities.
