Liberalism ended this bullshit long ago in it's heartland, it was born out of fear of revolution as exemplified by the earlier revolutions in England and subsequent ones in America and France bolstered it. During the American revolution deals were cut in Canada with conquered Quebec guaranteeing langue and religious rights as well as a legal system and legislature, a compromise was made, liberalism. They didn't join America, good thing too or you'd have another big fucking problem!
Liberals ended slavery, even those who were slaveholders like Jefferson, the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak, he was a spendthrift and not very good with money. He liked black people though, at least Sally Hemings, no word on whether she liked him, but Tom was a pretty good looking guy and an interesting fellow, so ya never know, they sure had a lot of kids together though. In the end Jefferson's ideals won, but today all of his family descendants sit at the family table, even if some are eating crow. Many "white" Americans might also be surprised at their recent encounter with genetic diversity.
Liberals or those under their orders had the Royal Navy patrol the Atlantic starting in 1811, to stamp out the Atlantic slave trade. They were called liberals then too and they made new laws that covered more people, they led, some like Lincoln were even bigots (by today's standards). Slavery degrades the owner more than the slave, the slave is a victim of callauness and greed, sometimes lust.

Much of what we know about the horrors of slavery in the Americas comes from historical records. But new research shows that evidence of those atrocities can also be found in the DNA of African Americans.

A new DNA study offers insight into the horrific story of the trans-Atlantic slave trade
(CNN)Much of what we know about the horrors of
slavery in the Americas comes from historical records. But new research shows that evidence of the slave trade's atrocities can also be found in the DNA of African Americans.
A study conducted by the consumer genetics company 23andMe, published Thursday in the
American Journal of Human Genetics, offers some new insight into the consequences of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, from the scale at which enslaved Black women were raped by their White masters to the less-documented slave trade that occurred within the Americas.
It's one of the largest studies of its kind, thanks in part to the massive database of 23andMe customers that researchers were able to recruit consenting participants from.
