[QUOTE="gimpyrancher, post: 1282422, member: 10164"] Is emanate domain only for land? Or is it defined as the taking of personal property for a just price, for public use? Without just compensation is where the problem comes into play? We can argue over the right and wrong of slavery but at the time, slaves were private property. Wealth at the time in large part was determined by how many slaves one owned. "The government" wanted that personal property to be disposed of (in a manner of speaking) but was unwilling to offer a fair price for that property. Instead, "we" killed about half a million Americans (not including the disabled) and spent far more doing so than it would have cost the government to pay a fair price for that personal property. :compute: [/QUOTE]
