Yagottabe fascinated by the scramble among (R)eactionaries to distinguish "good slavery" from "bad slavery" in US history. The very idea of good slavery is of course a pure oxymoron, the etymology of which I take to be indicative of the adherents' moral and intellectual prowess.

Here's a review of his nibs' view of the subject. (Apologies if it's behind a paywall for you, but if you download a news reader application you can probably bypass.)

BTW, JD Vance's grasp of historic detail is similar. In a recent interview about peacemaking efforts in Ukraine, he recently stated that World War II ended with negotiation.

In fact, the war ended due to weather conditions in Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The summary: 4,000ºC and very bright. (Sorry to be flippant, but as Santayana pointed out, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. The Vance corollary: Those who gloss over history and elect fools are doomed to suffer by their ignorance.)

Other US wars that ended by negotiation, of course, Include the American Revolution, the Civil War, WWI, the Iraq War, and the list goes on; just ask Gen. Cornwallis, Gen. Lee, Gen. von Hindenburg, Sadaam Hussein, et al.

Actual exceptions to the rule were the Anglo-American War of 1812, the Mexican-American War (1846-48), The Spanish-American War (1898), the Korean War (1950-53), and the Vietnam War (1964-75), all of which ended with negotiation.

One concludes that Mr. Vance's vast knowledge of history is in fact half-vast.
