[quote user="schlimm"] B:  You claim no one said slavery was necessary?  Here's the quote: "Slavery, both black and white (indentured servitude) was harsh, cruel and ruthless, but without it we could not have become a commercial power and survived." Although I can imagine you will claim no one said "necessary," the phrase above is saying exactly that. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] No, I would not dispute what the phrase means.   I agree that it means slavery was necessary.  I just had not recalled anybody saying anything like that.  I will review the thread, since I am curious as to who said it and what else they said.  I do believe slavery was morally wrong.  But I also believe that the contention that we could not have become a commercial power without it is absurd.  I just took a quick look over the whole thread, but it jumps all over the place, and I could not find that quote about slavery being necessary.  Could you tell me what page and post it is in?
