'Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be
applied for their personal benefit'

Personal benefit, KLAMarine?  How?  That would only be a benefit whomever is selling them at a now higher price or whomever bought them to fill a skills gap.

It's not like, "Hey, I can go be my own blacksmith now."

This whole "slavery wasn't really that bad" movement is absolutely disgusting, illogical and hypocritical. I guarantee not a single advocate for it would trade places with the slaves that "developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit".



To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
