Here's who suffers for Abe Lincoln's stand on principles:<p>It's great that he wants to end the institution of slavery and all, but it isn't so clear cut as it sounds.<p>Heres who loses:<p>- poor farmers who can barely afford to work the fields with free labor<p>- slave ship owners<p>- a select few tribes on africa's west coast<p>- anyone who likes cheap cotton or tobacco<p>NOTE: I am aware that my response is a bit over-the-top, I'm using absurdity to point out the problem I see with the argument, not saying that businessinsider.com is endorsing slavery.
