Remember folks, if you ever feel like killing yourself, it will be for a better reason than this fool.

I think any reason for a slaveowner to kill themselves is a damn fine reason. The morally correct decision, even if it's not the best reasoning.

His only fault was that he didn't kill himself before enslaving a bunch of people
