A textbook in Texas, in a chapter called "Patterns of Immigration", had this to say about slavery:
“The Atlantic Slave Trade between the 1500s and 1800s brought millions of workers from Africa to the southern United States to work on agricultural plantations.”
"workers" to "work". such nice words.

Slavery is bad, we get it.
The prime evil is; The initiation of force, threats of force and fraud. Freedom will win in the end, you and your ideology of force will lose.

In North America, indentured servants were used as cheap labor, however, they later fell out of favor and that is when slaves from the South began to trickle into the US. Again, cheap labor was needed.
Today the US uses illegal aliens as cheap labor, which is why there is no real interest in stopping them from coming to the US. They are just the modern day slaves.
So which party encourages this I wonder?

On the other hand, prior to the War, Lincoln and many northerners spoke out against freeing slaves, and held hostile views to slaves migrating north even after the Civil War.
Yes, slaves worked. In some ways, they had a better life than other immigrants, such as Chinese who labored building railroads, and Irish who labored to pay off indentured servitude for their passage to America. In the South, the Scott-Irish were often viewed as lower class than the black slaves. Many were ruffians and criminals.
In short order, slavery in the South would have been terminated as it was in most of the Western world. On the other hand, there are still places on the planet where slavery still exists.

Originally posted by no1marauderNo one, certainly not me is denying the chattel slavery was legal in the CSA. It was legal in lots of places around the world at that time. The great majority of those places made it illegal during the nineteenth century mostly without the bloodletting of 630,000 people and the massive destruction of property that was the Civil War. This led by a man who professed that he had no intention of freeing slaves.

- a direct quote, attributed and dated as well, nice. We don't often see this type of behavior from you Z. But there is nothing racist in the statement you have quoted.
I don't know about Fisheads link though, only a mug would click on one of Fisheads links, you'd be an utter mug to go to one of those links right?
...oh I get it you're the one mug that did click on Fisheads link.
You poor sap, what's it like swimming around with TWO hooks in your mouth.
