    Ben Franklin became an abolitionist after he inherited a few slaves. IIRC he got three house slaves from his aunt or something, but then realized they were people, which left him shook.

    “Wait, what do you mean they can talk, have thoughts and emotions, and I have to abuse them to make them obedient? I thought they were like roombas or something!”

    –Ben Franklin, 2076 (probably)
