Could you point me toward a historical study that shows this? I am genuinely curious.
It started here one day going down a rabbit hole.
The idea of freeing slaves started with the Revolutionary War. Not all slavery was equal. Larger plantains were more strict and cruel, while smaller houses with a few slaves were almost like family.

Okay well that's great that they thought about it, doesn't change the fact that nearly a full century later half the country was ready to secede, go to war, and send an entire generation of their sons off to die in an attempt to hold onto to the practice

Okay, and? What point are you trying to make here?
No matter what way you want to try and spin it, it's still slavery and it's still evil. Is this really the hill you want to die defending?
