Oh, come now. Do you seriously suggest that throughout the centuries
of slavery in every society in the world, that the people were just
/uninformed/ about what it was like? That argument might explain why
it took US consumers a while to catch on to child labor in the third
world, but you can bet your last greenback that everyone in Guatemala
knows exactly what goes on in a sweatshop, and they approve. Americans
always knew exactly what slavery was, just as every other enslaver in
history has, they simply chose to approve of it and justify it until
the moral opposition gained enough power to change it.
