ur raw materials and products. If it wasn't for us, blacks would still be in savage areas of Africa waiting to be eaten by each other. We saved them from this savage lifestyle and taught them Christianity and gave them things free laborers will never have or own. They are inferior to the Anglo-Saxon and if they are freed they will eventually die off since they are certainly weak-minded. Besides these factors, the Constitution clearly leaves it up to the states to decide upon the issue and with due process, must be compensated for any slave that is freed. Without slave labor, cotton exports may decrease and will drastically change commerce with other countries. The blacks were destined to be our slaves and this should not be taken away from us....
