Northern banks got rich financing the purchase of plantations and slaves


Little did i know how many Northerners came south with money(from New York investors) to start plantations in the South until i visited Natchez, Ms and learned the whole story....very eye opening...Poor Irish and Scots had it tougher than the Negros....Not to mention the Natchez Indians. that got pushed out before slavery.

That’s a major reasonj why Natchez wasn’t burned by the federals.
