CANDACE-I hope you read this comment. It will enlarge your knowledge about slavery, which by the way, I enjoyed.
You just omitted tht the Hebrews freed their slaves in the 7th year, gave them the option of staying slaves or becoming part of the family. Some nonsense about “nailing an ear to the doorpost” made it official. They didn’t call them slaves, but “servants”.
And, closer to our time The US Government passed an Act forbidding the Importation of any slaves into the US. This was in about 1807.
Thee is no doubt, and this has been endorsed my many Southern officials and deep thinkers, that assuming the Civil War had NOT occurred, before the end of the century slavery in the South would have been abolished. All the signs were there. A growing number of Freedmen, living in the South. Slaves taught trades and encouraged to go out to work in the locality, save their money and buy their freedom. This was one of the subterfuges used, to appease those hardliners. It was first used by Southern Jews.
