Juneteenth is now a federal holiday !!!

They stopped conquered after Trajan. From Hadrian on it was maintaining the borders. Prior to that they even treated the slaves better, since the trade had dried up.

When did slaves start being treated better in the U.S.?

Don’t start your BS

 

[Babagounj]

In 2022, Juneteenth & Father's Day were on the same day.
Wasn't that a conflict for some ?

You brought up that the Romans started treating their slaves better so it's a fair point.

They had to since the supply was dwindling. And if you paid the equivalent price of new Cadillac for a slave, would you abuse it? I’m sure abuse occurred, but it makes no sense from an economic perspective, to damage expensive property you need for your livelihood. If it was so bad, more would have run away.

There was slavery throughout the Roman Empire, not just in Rome itself. As there was in most of the known world at that time. But the U.S. South was trying to hang on to the practice when in the rest of the Christian world it had been outlawed. The Civil War may not have been about slavery but it took the Civil War to end it in the U.S.

Yeah, they told four and a half million people, "You are free, hit the road,” and made no provision for education, etc. Just told them to go. Of course they drifted back into sharecropping, which is a form of slavery, don't forget white people fed their kids by doing the same. What a disaster.
If the South had won, slavery wouldn’t have survived into the twentieth century. It would have been brought to an end in a more gradual, less disastrous way.
Mmmmm..what about those troubles we’ve got today with black communities?? Being released into the world without being prepared to deal with it."Gonna pull out my nine and bus a cap." Yeah..Yeah..Kill Kill da white man.

I’m aware of slaves throughout the Roman Empire. I never said there weren’t. When speaking of Rome, it’s generally accepted that it’s the empire with all the over 40 provinces it had.

The North sending in carpetbaggers after the war didn't help much either.

Lincoln wanted to compensate slave owners for their property. That's how many countries ended slavery.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

The Civil War may not have been about slavery but it took the Civil War to end it in the U.S.

That's just conjecture.
We could have ended slavery without the civil war. We could have ended the civil war without ending slavery.

Government employees are so ing worthless it's not even funny.
