    That’s one of craziest things about USA for me. They fought a war with million casualties to end slavery and in the end, when politicians sat down to decide what to do after they won someone went “but do we really want end all slavery?”.

    And turns out no, they didn’t actually want to end all slavery. Some slavery was ok even with the north.

        It wasn’t though. Slavery is still literally in the constitution. They just added a condition to it: incarceration.
