Reply #45: Slavery was becoming an economic hardship for the South

[mrdmk]

The only thing the South had going for it with slavery was that it had a self producing population growth, meaning that at the current rate the South would have more slaves than it needed thus needed a market to sell these people. The new markets (I really dislike using this term) would be the new slave states if admitted and other countries that killed off their slaves faster than they could reproduce themselves. The North was willing to let the South have their slaves with certain restrictions and that was a problem to the South.

I am not being disingenuous here, what I was attempting to point out is that people have been for a long time using certain means such as the Bible as to justify owning other people. This booklet, from what I ascertain and correct me if I am wrong has been written recently, but from what I read and what I can remember these are the same old arguments that have been used since the publication of the Bible. People have doing this for a long time and have not quit.

The real question here should be when an institution calls itself a place of learning for Kindergarten to the 12th grade, does there need to be certain standards for the education? Next, if there are standards who sets them, the government? Another question if there are no standards for private schools other than market forces, does there need to be standards for public education, if so why? Or can we let the private receive public funds even though vouchers and then subject them to the same standards as public schools (I kind of like that idea, no provable standards, no vouchers i.e. public funds) and lets see what kind of time the private school has on their hands to use these junk materials.

The real clue here is this material to have public funds be used for public uses and private endeavors subject to market forces.
