Slaves were not free labor. If sick, they got medical care. If hungry, were fed. If naked, clothed. If outdoors, were housed.
Don't go there. They were such a substantial expense that they got better care on the (Jew-owned) slaving ships than the white crew did. The death records are historical records and, while they might not have been known by name, dead captives had to be accounted for to the ship owners. Dead sailors didn't have to be paid.
Northern factory owners paid little more, if any, for their labor than the slave owners. Both children and immigrants were treated as shabbily as slaves. They paid a helluva high toll in their health, limbs and life.
Irish immigrants were little more than northern slaves and were even lampooned as being related to the same chimps blacks were. (per NJ Historical Society)
Dred Scott, as an example, was well to do and much better off than most factory labor of the day.
My family DID own slaves.
Two. An old married couple. She worked in the house, he worked in the barn. They COULD NOT BE FREED due to the manumission laws the legislators from the NORTH imposed on the South and so, at the death of my ancestors, she was sold at auction, her husband having died earlier. Where many slaves were previously freed at the death of the original owner, usually getting a small grant of land or other assistance to begin life as free people, the manumission laws made that illegal.
You CANNOT make a simple argument for either side. The argument against manumission was that, having worked diligently for others, the freed slaves would not be able to care for themselves. And yet history proves exactly the opposite.
The war split my family. Some had become Quakers and went to Indiana, leaving behind anything they could not sell. Others stayed and fought on both sides of the Civil War.
We owned LARGE chunks of land in Virginia / West Virginia. We bled for what we believed in. What wasn't taken from us (60miles of the Kanawha Valley … the economic engine of modern WV), was given to the state for use as a public park under Governor Rockefeller.
I owe NOTHING to any black man for ANYTHING. If they want, they can visit the park and, tucked away in a corner and all but totally ignored, they can visit a small family cemetery where two brothers, one wearing blue and one wearing grey, fought to the death and are buried where they fell.

More than a year ago. She's had the shakes a couple times. Anons have suggested potential diagnoses but none of us are her physician. She has SOME neurological problem to go with the mental jiggles that come with socialism.
