Would you own any slaves? Why or why not?
I could see helping to fund a campaign to repatriate them - that's "purchasing" people, if not trying to "own" them. I suppose that would be the closest I could come to it.

No. I would just free them. I'd ask them to remember where they came from, and join the repatriation movement, but they have basic human rights and dignity, the same as me or you or my children. I wouldn't want my children in Slavery, and I wouldn't want yours in it, either.So would that include some kind of stipulation that they would be freed after a certain length of time?
Precisely. Slavery is not wrong because it is illegal. It is illegal because we came to find it to be morally abhorent.Even in theory, just because something is legal does not automatically mean we would all get in on it. Especially something like this, ownership of another human being. Legal or not, there is plenty of reason to despise the idea.
I would hope I would do what Tubman did
Free the slaves, and kill the slavers
...I don't remember Harriet Tubman killing anybody. What kind of history class were you in?

Kill someone who isn't violating any law just because you find something they're doing to be odious? Most people would say that's a little extreme.

I would say that allowing slavery to continue when you could potentially do something against it would be extreme.
I would have expected that she would have killed someone when leading 3 gun boats with 300 soldiers, or at the very least order soldiers to kill
Maybe he's confusing Harriet Tubman with Joan of Arc? [emoji12]That doesn't sound like Harriet Tubman either. Do you have any kind of link showing that Harriet led a small army?
