Religious convictions had little to do with the freeing of slaves. Don't give me that bullshit.
    I was speaking about here in the US, as you well know. Fact is, the US did not revert back to slavery, even in light of the arguement that you posed in regards to the economic loss from outlawing slavery. There are examples of everything......somewhere and at sometime.

    Georgia is a state in the USA.

    The US as a whole didn't revert back, but certain states did... 'nuff said.
