It's bizarre to me that with as much discourse in the context of slavery, that nobody ever talks about *how* people used to support slavery. This horror used to be a wildly popular thing everybody took for granted and we somehow just *aren't* curious about their reasoning for it?

Maybe i just studied too much social history in college but I'm surprised you say this isn't discussed. It feels like a fairly popular topic in my readings. Honestly though sometimes impact over intent seems more relevant.

I would be surprised if it *wasn't* discussed in that sort of literature; I was intending to refer more to 'popular discourse' outside of specific studying

True, most people don't have a college degree. Another reason it would be great to make 4 year degree at state institutions free at the point of delivery.
