i believe, if Blackerby was living/writing the same book today, that he would use a MUCH larger figure for FREE Blacks in antebellum dixie.

So basically you're saying that Blackerby is a sloppy historian whose numbers can't be relied on. Good to know.

I don't suppose you can cite a single verifiable historian who supports your claims about there being a much larger number of free blacks in the south than Blackerby claims, can you?

By the way, do you know who Maryelissa Tyrona Brown-Bollin is?

Wasn’t she a singer with The James Gang?
