The "White, racist society" that you point out... is a matter of terms and tastes. In the America of 1849 slavery was taken for granted as an economic system. An economic culture going back to classical Greece and beyond. The cultural preference of abolition... or individual rights has its roots in Enlightenment philosophy which predates the French revolution (1789). The economic system which slavery supported in the Old South would have ended, be necessity and practice, at WWI (the dawn of 'globalism'). At that time, a sharecropper system became predominant, not only in the South but throughout America. All the post-modern emphasis on "slavery" is just so much post-modern drivel. Black and minority advocates like to emphasize "slavery" because it makes them feel a sense of superiority. That "feeling" is indeed a romantic throw-back. Time to be more pragmatic. More scientific!
