"[...]there were some very rich landowners who wished to remain that way."
They just created a strawman on the Northern states and directed the general populace to attack the North.

Slavery got shit done.

[pugglesthecow]

^ yeah, but it held back scientific progress (at least for the Romans) because they didn't need to build more cool things to do their shit... they had slaves.

Built the Pyramids

Sorry to burst your bubble, but nope.

[ZEB 99]

No, they didn't. The Jews came later than the pyramids, if I'm not mistaken. The pyramids were mostly built with a hired workforce that either paid the taxes with the work or received a daily ration of bread and beer.

[ZEB 99]

wait. nevermind i was thinking of something else.

[pugglesthecow]

You wanna know who built the Pyramids?
