@Chud: hating wage labour might imply supporting no wages (=slavery) or going so far as to seize the means of production (there's no boss to pay you anymore)
idk what sectionalism is going on about equating abolition with communism
There was an interesting debate during the civil war regarding chattel slavery, southern proponents said that what the Unionists accused chattel slavery to be was no different from the wage slavery in the North.
@Chud: radical Republicans in the north who wanted to abolish both wage and slave labor did this, southern intellectuals typically pointed to slavery as a morally superior system to wage labor
