the FACTS ARE that about the same percentage of northerners & southerners owned slaves = 5-6%.

swattie, swattie, swattie, you have to put a date on such claims and it has to be a relevant one.

I really doubt the same percentage of Northerners and Southerners owned slaves in 1850 or 1860.

The 1860 date are available on line, and people can check it out for themselves.

Also, since total population numbers include children, they aren't as relevant as the number of slave owning households out of the total number of free households.

But really, swattie, you know all this and it doesn't matter a bit to you.

Go back into your hole, swattie, we've still got a few more weeks until you can come out.

You know x, you can't get just a little bit pregnant. Slave owning is slave owning; numbers are irrelevant.

To: x; All
to "x": inasmuch as you "know NOT & know NOT that you know NOT" about MOST WBTS subjects, we are not surprised that you "doubt" ANYTHING that conflicts with your inbred/ingrained PREJUDICES against the southland. furthermore, you are widely known as the LEAST intelligent/educated off the DY radicals that infest FR, so your OPINIONS (absent full PRIME SOURCE documentation) are deemed worth-LESS by most denizens of these threads.(sorry, but that TOO is FACT.)

to ALL: the FACTS are that what i said (as much as the DY radicals/extremists/HATERS/nitwits despise those facts) is CORRECT, throughout the entire period of lawful slavery in the USA.

furthermore, MANY northerners moved their slaves to the Caribbean islands & to Brazil, when slavery was unlawful here. MOST of the northern slavers did NOT free their slaves, as removing them from the USA was PROFITABLE! (PROFIT, rather than morality/decency/honesty has forever been the preferred position of the elitist/hypocritical north!)

laughing AT you.
