Don't worry about a sugar planter. Give him a horse and he'll ride to his own funeral.
The Supreme Court said nothing about silliness, but I suspect it may play more of a role than one might suppose.

Probably the first slave ship, with Negroes lying in chains on its decks, seemed commonsensical to the owners who operated it and to the planters who patronized it. But such a vessel would not be in the realm of common sense today. The only sense that is common, in the long run, is the sense of change.
Every gazette brings accounts of the untutored freaks of the wind,--shipwrecks and hurricanes which the mariner and planter acceptas special or general providences; but they touch our consciences, they remind us of our sins. Another deluge would disgrace mankind.

There is no equivalent punishment for making the world a stranger place.
