John Locke. He was smart. He can say that they're wrong.

John Locke. He was smart. He can say that they're wrong. Ah, yes. He was smart, so what he believes is obviously more valid than what someone else believes. Who could possibly argue the logic in that? (Please, please tell me, Chelsea, that this was tongue in cheek?)

Well, what makes his beliefs more valid than someone else's is that I agree with him.

The North was against slavery basically since the very beginning During the Revolutionary War period, pretty much all of the colonies (with the exception of Georgia) had slavery. It might not have been as widespread in the North, and they might have freed their slaves sooner, but the North wasn't always against slavery, which means they did change their minds at some point. Unless you're saying "the very beginning" to mean "several years after the Constitution was ratified." I agree with most people here that "evil" is subjective, but I'm not really sure of much else. I do think that the environment has some impact and it is not easy to change your initial views, but it is possible to change your morals. One thing that I'm sure about is that this is an interesting topic that has no definite answer (not that we know of anyway) because we have all been influenced by our environment.
