Don’t forget to add yankees to that list; true-man-dog likes to forget about the northern slaves and only likes to remember the southern ones.

Slavery was reprehensible in both the north and the south. However, it was the south which not only continued to maintain slavery, but abandoned the Union so that they could continue slavery forever.

Yes! The most infamous peddlers of human flesh on the planet. They made vast fortunes in the slave trade then when it became unprofitable, they tried to cover up their activity in the trade, denied their involvement, started a war to cover it up and revised history to point the finger solely at the South.
