I love when Republicans especially White racist ones try and use this defense. “We freed you so you owe us.”Yea their entire economy was built around slavery. Only small numbers of southerners OWNED slaves, but there was an entire supply chain. There were still the drivers, fugitive hunters (Georgia State Police), auctioneers, entire naval crews, producers of goods made with slave labor, consumers of slave-sourced goods, socialites who abused enslaved people, and so much more. One part of a huge supply chain.
