 To back track to a previous post regarding Stowes book, to base one's view of slavery on a piece of fiction is a stretch (don't take the erroneous view of my condoning slavery in the least) but for a much more accurate view of this horible practice, one should read Douglasses' autobiography written about ten years previously. There is no way one can view slavery as anything other than an abysmal practice. In my opinion, I don't think there was or has been a more important or influential afro-american individual than Douglas. It's a waste of anyones time and efforts arguing the good points (none) of slavey, in any period of time, PERIOD.
