Contrary to what Brent Harold would have us believe, the U.S. did not become an economic superpower on the backs of slaves. To the contrary, cotton contributed only 5% to Gross Domestic Product in 1860, and at that time northern factories manufactured nine-tenths of industrial goods in the country.

The Constitution demands that all debts be paid. No negotiation is required.
