So, there were only slaves and racists in the South. Please get your facts straight. You are sorely mistaken.
I did not say there were only slave owners and racists in the south. The north had at least three slave states and perhaps 40% of the population was racists or at least didn’t mind slavery. With that said, ultimately the dominant politcal will to end slavery existed in the north....in spite of these facts.
Face it, the ‘slave thing’ is just a bad legacy down in the south because they fought to the death to save it as an institution. I know it sucks to get saddled with that legacy because it diminishes a great culture, the idea of states rights, not to mention the good name of the southern way of life.
