So government endorses slavery, but the free market is to blame? Okay sparky.

Lets keep in mind that after a brutal government war, government apartheid lasted for another 100 years in the United States.

Thankfully - the free market invented mechanical automation and mass production which actually ended slavery.
Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, making a man need 3 slaves instead of 10 to handle a cotton crop...yet still they were slaves, up to 1 million of them, and yes..it took a "government war" to free them. Your way would have taken another 50 to 100 years to get rid of slavery with the "Free Market" and as OP stated, far easier to use slaves that you can breed, rather then machinery that breaks down.
All governments enslave their people, the only difference is to what degree and by what methods

a bullshit response from a bullshit philosophy....also rank cowardice to try. I'm pretty safe in saying that the million souls held in bondage freed by that Government war were thankful.

Lincoln was a racist who could care less about blacks. He did however care about a centralized federal government.

Which is why the government apartheid lasted another 100 years.

and ad hominum attacks aside (an indication that you are stumped here), lets present an analogy that sums up this fallacy that you are trying to present as fact.

The government is now defining personal relationships, marriage, for example.
No. Government is keeping you and your homophobic hypocritical conservative buddies from defining marriage to your liking.

And I'm glad they are. That war is over. You lost.
