I looked, but can't find the meaning of "FED" in this context...
Look under "banking".

Most people weren't slave-owners.  The majority worked for themselves.  It is typical that people follow the politics of the wealthiest.  And that is not a good way of thinking.

Slave-owning is  bad now. For most of history it just was. Retrofitting today's morality on the 1700s is rather bizarre.
I agree, but my point was that the country was set up by the self interests of those who stood to make a lot more money, not the country as a whole, and much of the country was even opposed to setting up a new type of government.  Slavery as you say, "just was",  and remained so, because blacks had no say in the structure of the new government, not because of any moral questions then or now. 

In retrospect, I should not have included the part about slavery, because it implies moral issues were heavily involved in the thought process.  They were to some extent, but it was mostly about the financial gain of the wealthy, which remains at the forefront of our political structure today.

Most of the people back then didn't expect to have a say in the government or any changes to the governance.

Judging by today's interest in voting it might be pretty much the same today, I never voted until late in my 20s, mostly because I didn't think I could make any difference.  I still feel that.  Voting for me is mostly out of sense of obligation, but still feels much like a exercise in futility.

The Grim Old Party approves of your attitude.

They were realists, and idealists got the rack ;-(

Slavery didn't end.  Lincoln failed on a number of points.  Wage slavery has grown, as had debt slavery.  Chattel slavery continues mostly for prostitutes.  Rich people are slaves to their greed.  Everyone in America was a slave, and still is.  There are no free people here, just idealists with their heads up their asses.

Money's our way of keeping score. And most humans are just a burden on the system anyway.

i expected you have approach the problem from the humanist point of view.

When looking at the rise in the popolation of humans, world will not be supply the water and food required.

I think depopulation is inevitable, we're working hard to kill ourselves off.

Thanks for the correction. What i meant was that.

The natural supply of the world will not be able to meet the population need.
