    The confederates were so stupid. They should have just rebranded slavery to something like “migrant workers” and been done with it.

      Or make slavery “illegal except as punishment for a crime” and then create a bunch of laws that specifically targeted former slaves. Given the politics of Andrew Johnson, all they really had to do was assassinate Lincoln…
