Ah right, this is why slave owners have voluntarily freed all the slaves in the US? The french revolution was about aristocracy voluntarily giving up their privilidges? In Britain Parliament asserted it's dominance over the monarch through peacefull means?
In each case, idealistic people rose up against tyrany and cut some heads off
- surfpel 4y agoThis is just more idealism. Slavery was a heavily economically motivated endeavor, obviously, otherwise it would never have occurred in the first place or wouldn't have taken so long to abolish. The other two examples are just a changing of the hands holding power from one aristocracy to another. Peasants still lost out in both of those instances and life was worse after.
