I do not doubt for one second the situations in the post-Civil War defeated South which you have outlined.
If you were a slave, recently liberated, and you spotted the schmuck that whipped & chained you, strolling down the lane, what would you do?
The same situation existed when the Nazi death camps were liberated. I friend of mine, who has passed away, told me in depth after his GI company actually witnessed the indescribable horror of one particular Nazi death camp his company liberated in southern Germany, once these battle hardened vets had finished throwing up, anyone sighted wearing an SS insignia paid dearly for their crimes, either our men, or by the tortured death camp survivors.
Slavery is still practiced by America's worst enemies, the terrorist jihadists. We do not wait to defeat them, our nation simply takes the required action....now.
There was far too much leniency with pro-slaver susccesonists, which dragged this nation into a bloody The Civil War.
The same situation existed when the Nazi death camps were liberated. No it didn't! Damn, boy, haven't you been paying attention at all?
You're clinging to stereotypes in the face of better information. NO, Harriet Beecher Stowe was NOT accurate in her portrayal of slavery -- it was propaganda, get it?!
If you were a slave, recently liberated, and you spotted the schmuck that whipped & chained you, strolling down the lane, what would you do?
You really don't understand the South at all. LOTS of ex-slaves saw LOTS of ex-masters every damned day for 50 years. But YOU still don't get it!
You saw me post up, up above, that the slave quarters in some of the Texas sugar-cane plantations remained occupied for up to 30 years after the end of the war. You've heard of sharecropping and other arrangements whereby slaves continued to farm the same old acreage, some of them. You know, because I and others on the board have told you, that ex-slaves and their former masters continued to coexist in the same communities they'd always known -- and there wasn't anything like what you're talking about, nothing like the Jewish raiders' mass poisoning of former SS men in one of the Allied-run POW/de-Nazification camps, no mass reprisals, retribution, mass murder, mass mayhem. You're thinking like a schmuck yourself and projecting it mindlessly onto a social situation and culture you obviously don't know enough about to project much of anything onto!
Twentieth-century extremism just doesn't project backward onto the 19th century, don't you get it?
Just damnnnn!
Now knock it off with the snarky crap, okay?
I'm done here.
Damnnn!
