I feel like there are two ways that list could go.

The first is trying to whitewash slavery. The second is trying to help students understand why horrible things like this happen; why did entire economic systems get built for such a horrific practice.

Pros: Removes any ambiguity about who the shitbags are.

Cons: Now good people have to kill the shitbags to free the slaves.

Pros and cons from who's perspective?

I like it honestly. Remove the idiocratic "Because it's bad, duh".

No. Make your research. Understand the problem. Feel the problem. See how far it gone, and why people used that, and what was the price to pay.

wtf ?

Southern state?

Pro: Less work for me

Con: More work for them
