People who supported slavery were wrong because slavery is wrong. If the South had won the Civil War and conquered the North, they'd still be just as wrong, but opposition to slavery would be more important than ever. History itself justifies precisely nothing.
- VikingCoder 6y ago> History itself justifies precisely nothing. We're not saying it does. We're saying that when you can tell right from wrong, but you make a selfish / pragmatic choice, that you will be on the wrong side of history. Because we're optimists. We think in the future, people will be better able to tell right from wrong.
