    I don’t know about you but I think the people who argued in favour of abolishing slavery were not historically ridiculed as far as I’ve ever heard.

      Here in the US we had a little scuffle based largely around slavery and those who wanted to abolish it were gunned down by the hundreds of thousands.

        Do you happen to remember who won that particular scuffle? And who had an enormous statue erected in memorial and is the most popular presidents in history? And whether slavery is in fact still legal or not?
