There was a difference between being "anti-slavery" and being an Abolitionist. Being anti-slavery was noble but of itself didn't necessarily help one slave. Being an Abolitionist meant you'd crossed the line from "I'm against it" to "Not on my watch!" And that's where we are now.

This is rewriting history. Much of the argumentation for abolition was that it is bad to have Africans in our nation.

YES, YES, YES! Abolitionists were ACCOMPLICES IN, not just allies of the Cause.

Some of us. Don't discount the vast majority of people who are in favore of neoslavery or those sitting quietly accepting the actions of the hateful as okay and as normal.

Is it the same with anti fascist, anti-communist, anti-Muslim, ...?
