Slaves could not be arrested and convicted of tax fraud. So, they were treated like billionaires are treated, today.

If slavery hadn’t existed, Frederick Douglas’ autobiography would’ve been a real snooze.

Without slavery, Alex Haley would’ve had to write science fiction, bumping Arthur C. Clarke into unemployment; and, I hear Clarke could be bitter and vindictive on a GOOD day.
