funny too how the noble Yankee with such few blacks had the need to restrict them same as white Southerners who often were living in majority black states until the post WWI exodus.
that same noble Yankee of whom quite a few on this forum in league with the occasional black Republican pot stirrer gang here pointing fingers at us while youse guys continue to live largely rather segregated.
Yankees are no less prejudiced...you just had less of them both as slaves and post slavery.and any place up north where there are large groups of blacks segregated together are arguably worse than down here in Dixie.
So who's the real bigot master?
Who the real hypocrites here is already established.
Oh, come now, little man. You’re squealing like a little girl!
It’s funny that there wasn’t a mass migration of blacks out of the South into the North after emancipation. Given the descriptions of the South we hear constantly from the Dixie-bashers here, one would think there would have been refugee camps filled with thousands and thousands of blacks just across the Ohio River or somewhere just across the Mason-Dixon line in Pennsylvania. And since we all know that the North was a center of moral enlightenment (wait for the laughter to die down) while the South was hideous in the century after the Civil War, one would reasonably expect virtually every black in Dixie would have relocated to Vermont or Connecticut. They had a whole century to do it. Yet, despite the alleged clear distinction between the two regions, most blacks stayed right where they were. I guess they just weren’t aware that the people of Rhode Island would have welcomed them with open arms.
The truth is, if there had been a mass migration of the freed slaves to the North, there would have been a wholesale slaughter of blacks that would have made the New York draft riots look like a picnic.
