Imagine you lived as a Southerner in mid-1800s America. Would you be opposed to slavery or would you support it?

Keep in mind that it is the cultural norm of the time. Speaking out against it would probably have people resent you as much as people resent vegans these days.

Do you put your image on the line by defending the the voiceless, or do you just go along with the status quo because everyone else is fine with it?

i think racism and the notion of racial inferiority is taught by your upbringing....im guessing the majority of people in the south went along with slavery without blinking an eye. me personally, i dont think id have the liberty to really have an opinion on slavery anyways in the 1800s. id most likely be sent off to build railroads or get deported back to asia somewhere
