DawkinsNumber4 09/14/17 7:59:26 AM #161:	27_Sandman_40 posted... John Adams also didn't support outright abolition, either. "Adams, despite being opposed to slavery, did not support abolitionism except if it was done in a “gradual” way with “much caution and Circumspection.” Adams dismisses radical abolitionist measures as “produc[ing] greater violations of Justice and Humanity, than the continuance of the practice” of slavery itself." - Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Did you even read what you quoted? He's basically saying banning slavery overnight was going to destroy the country. He was saying it should be a gradual, yet swift process so that in the near future, slavery was abolished. That was unfortunately the optimal idea given the nation's state at the time. Sounds like some BS excuse to attempt and recover the argument attempting to be made that John Adams was severely against slavery. Even if he was, the same logic should be applied to Jefferson, not cherry-picked for use. --- https://soundcloud.com/xsquader - http://youtube.com/xsquader http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1044-independent-politics - Independent Politics Community Board <cite>DawkinsNumber4 posted [p:886578851] in Protesters...
