    what's to understand? northern abolitionists lived off Slavery as much as southern planters. northern bankers made loans, northern insurance companies underwrote activities, northern textile mills bought slave cotton, northerners ate slave sugar and smoked slave Tabacco and before 1808, slave ships built and crewed by northerners transported slaves into the United States. America was a slave economy no different than Rome and the cradle of democracy Athens, only a hell of a lot bigger and plugged into the global economy of the time, and without continual wars of Rome and the cradle of democracy Athens engaged in to replenish their supply of slaves..... And, then there is Sparta.....
