I did, the conversation is about your absurd rationalization of why southerners made slaves....slaves. It wasn't because they could take the heat, it is because they were viewed as inferior......a racist belief that remains to this day. You can't handle that fact, and need to deal with it by arguing they were lying (making a specious comparison to a an imagined lie you created).
Who the **** cares? Who told you that you need to come up with absurd, stupid argument to justify their slavery? Pro tip: NOBODY. The only reason anyone comes up argument to "humanize" Confederate slavery....to find "practical reasons" why the slaveholding bastards engaged in this abomination......is to excuse them.
The "motive" was profit, to turn black skin into gold, and no amount of specious rationalization about "practical reasons" can erase that mark.
Your repeating your dopey refrain makes it no more true than before. I know Libs can’t deal with any commentary on slavery that doesn’t involve racism, but the fact remains that if there hadn’t been a monetary reason for having slaves, Southerners wouldn’t have wanted them in such quantities. Similar reasons played into Blacks being used as slaves both by African Blacks and North Africans.
I bet you thought that “black gold” thing was clever, but not only was it dumb, it contradicts your point that pure racism was the only motive. You also misread my point about “prestige,” which was directed to Northerners who didn’t have big plantations to run.
