Talk:Gradual Fade Out of Slavery

There is absolutely no way possible that a fading out of slavery would have worked as described. Slaver was, in fact, entrenched in southern society - slavery had existed since 1619, when they were introduced to Virginia. The sociopolitical climate was simply too conservative to allow blacks equal rights with whites in that time period. Also, the South was still in need of massive amounts of cheap labor, which slaves could provide at a much cheaper price than indentured servants
