These slave states were competing with global cotton production.
Or, maybe they were comprised of greedy crackers.
They all had to do it, or go broke trying to compete with those who did.
We have that same "business dynamic" with China, right now.
So, we either convert to slavery, or die.
The 14th Amendment nationalized slavery.
Wow you really need to take some history classes. No, "they" all did not have to do it. As a matter of fact, at the height of slavery in the south of the US, most other countries had long abolished the act of owning other humans.
I agree with this. I also think, in many areas, it is more of a class vs. race issue.
'Class' is a tricky thing. Gated communities are a double edged sword they ultimately find themselves burdened by. A self imposed cage & rigid myopic existence is also handy for outsiders to reverse the barbed wire to defend free society from nutters.
I see no reason why she wouldn't be deported with the rest of the illegals. Men's rights groups should get right on that. All of womankind are anchor babies ruining the patriarchy.

Gee I live in a "gated" community
The farm gate is closed at the driveway and I have perimeter barbed wire.
The animals inside do live a myopic existence though..all they are concerned with is the grass in the pasture and some grain in the evening and that their water buckets are full.
I also have a community clubhouse (barn) where everyone comes to feast and mingle every night at 7:00 pm

I asked a local farmer why he was injecting his cows with the hormones and antibiotics when he knew it was a bad thing to do.
He said that his neighbor across the way did it, causing his cows to weigh a lot more, and that if he didn't also do it, his neighbor would end up owning his farm.
Ya just gots ta do da evil de others do, or da evil will do ya in, man.
Dat's an economic dynamical peer conformity of de market.
Adam Smith didn't cover this.
Is it any surprise to anyone that Americans have taken on the looks and behavior of America's farm animals?
Right about now, in 2011, I'd have to say the playing field has been leveled. Sure, there are plenty who will not hire some, based on their race. .......but then again, that's universal. Black owned businesses tend to hire more blacks, Hispanic owned businesses hire more Hispanics, and sorry, but I have yet to see an Asian small business that hires anyone but Asians. Those business owners or corporations led by folks of European descent in fact tend to be the most impartial. Thoughts?
I can relate to that. Ten years ago I moved to a city with a large Asian population and when I went looking for fast food/restaurant jobs, I found several businesses run by Asians which had (at the times I visited) no jobs available and only Asian employees visible. As I returned to the fast food outlets several times over a period of several months with the same result every time, it appeared likely that these restaurants had their own network of potential employees and that middle-aged whites were not in the pool of potential employees..

Not just Asian restaurants. Go into any fast food place.
Management and the workers are usually all of the same race.
Not 100% but a good 80-90%. That is one thing I've noticed.
And at one in particular the manager changed (Black and then Hispanic) and slowly over time the staff changed as well to all Hispanic.
It is the way it is. I'm not being racist in any way; just telling what I see.
For the same reason that it is totally acceptable to have a spanish club, asian club, black student union, and any other pro minority club at a high school in this country, yet it would be unacceptable to have a white student union or aryan club.
Oh wait.... I'd better shuffle back off to Stormfront.
Probably because most ethnic clubs (European, African, Latino, Asian) involve learning, food, cultural presentations, etc...
Aryan clubs scapegoat anyone not like them for their problems, and promote violence. Most people hadn't heard of Aryans before WW2, then being used in Nazi Germany and the Aryan Nations in the US during the 1980s. That semantic use of Aryans (not Caucasians) as a race pretty much sums up where you are coming from. The only people who have referred to themselves as "Aryan" since the mid 1940's are bigots and violent thugs.
Big F'ing difference in action. Thank you for going back to where you belong.
