I'm just trying to keep it simple enough for people to follow along. If I get too deep people just start glazing over. Yes, people knew slavery couldn't last forever. Yes they knew it was wrong. But they still wanted to make it go on for as long as they could.
Its the same thing we're seeing with global warming right now. Our effect on the climate is going to result in the deaths of millions of people who live in coastal areas (something that is already starting). But the deniers would rather obfuscate truth and try to keep the oil money rolling in for as long as possible.
Because they can, and because it's profitable.
