...slavery was god's will....it took care of Black savages who would otherwise be a threat...it was for the benefit and control of the African, who didn't know how to benefit or control himself...it was the right to "property", Africans being chattel....it was our way of life....it had always existed....our economy depended on it, take it away and CHAOS would ensue etc.

...women were denied the vote because they were fickle, weak, too emotional....give them equality and CHAOS would ensue.

...child labor was necessary to the income of the family...it was economically important, without it labor would be too costly...and if it were abolished, what would happen to prices? If child labor was outlawed CHAOS would ensue.

...marriage has always been between a man and a woman...allow same-sex marriage and CHAOS will ensue.

...by this we see you are on the side of history...the wrong side.
