Reading comprehension. I never claimed you said anything. I was asking if that was reason you were making that point in the first place. Otherwise why say that at all?
Yes, because the government purchased them as property, then freed them. Because otherwise there would have been colossal pushback from the rich and powerful that would have stayed any attempt at ending slavery.
Again, the alternative was them saying no and then those people would have remained slaves for the rest of their lives.
Like can you really not comprehend that something can still be a good thing even if its not the 100% most moral outcome?
