Hardly comparable. One is about freeing your own people then other about having to use your resources to those who you did not extend permission to come. This

  >Hardly comparable. Both are about laws being in conflict with basic humanitarian principles. >One is about freeing your own people then other about having to use your resources to those who you did not extend permission to come. in the first case there is a loss of resource too - cheap slave labor - which was the primary reason driving anti-abolition. So both cases mean short-term economical loss in the name of the humanitarian principles (resulting in economical gain long-term).
