As such, it isn't a race card or matter of wokeness to point out the realities of the day. Cotton was king and slaves were a factor of production to make it most profitable. Businessmen of the day weren't high on ceding that cost savings for higher cost factors of production. Nor were they favorable of governments trying to impose such a change on them. And, they proved in Texas and later in the US ready to go to war over it.

We don't give a frick. It was 1836. Slavery ended a few short years later.

We don't care.
