Montesquieu wrote "It must be said that slavery is against nature, though in certain countries it is founded upon natural reason.

He added, "Sugar would be too expensive if one did not use slave labor." -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail michael at ecst.csuchico.edu
