An anti-slavery as well, is part of how we are formed. I read a chapter in a cool history book once that talked about the removal of both slavery and anti-slavery pre Civil War in many history texts. As an example, Jim Brown was portrayed as crazy, with the undertone that he couldn;t really want to free the slaves that badly.
