@Czakal Diversity Macht Frei: Why, then, when the Emancipation Act was passed, did so many slaves not want to be freed? They were quite happy as they were and wanted to stay with their masters. Slavery at least granted its "victims" the dignity of useful labour, something that many free blacks today lack.
