    I mean that is technically true but legally declaring black people as less than human is not what you would call a good thing

      Dude, that's not even that.

      "Oh but if slaves counted as full people then the slavers would make them vote for them to be kept slaves" is a garbage take so stupid that obviously ends up in a yank history book, death to america

          Not that they "couldn't vote", slaves quite literally weren't people, legally.

        It's not that, it's for the house of representatives so the slavers would have got more congressmen to support slavery laws. Obviously everyone involved was an awful person. :john-brown: It's still morally reprehensible. I am not defending the north in the 1800s, because they were still very racist, and I am definitely not defending the south, because they had slavery which is one of the most evil things possible.
