My question is, if you could extinguish slavery from existence, like it never happened, would you? I know everyone's knee jerk reaction is going to be "of course! what they did to those people was wretched!" And it was, but consider this, the continent they were taken from is now ridden with the same problems America had only worse. Drug lords and diamond mongers run the gun trade and keep mostly everyone that isn't in the good graces of that particular lord in tiny, barely livable slums.
Before anyone comments on this claiming that I'm endorsing slavery, safe your breath, I'm clearly not. I'm just posing a question I have been thinking about since I took world civ I. Would I single handedly remove the wrongs of the past to bring hell on the people currently?
