Just correcting your lack of grasp of the concept, of what it meant to be a Southerner in the 19th century.
To get a feel for what it might have been like, jump in your car, drive to New York City, park it somewhere on 130th Street, and then lie down on the hood with $10 bills hanging out of your pockets and go to sleep.
When the slaves rose in Haiti, they killed every living thing that was white. Capiche?
Slaves in Haiti were essentially worked to death and died the in the tens of thousands every year from the brutality. As bad as conditions were in the South they were nowhere as bad as in Haiti and they didn't outnumber the whites ten to one as there.
However, you apologists are not going to admit that conditions on the plantations could provoke MEN to revolt are you? Must have been the abolitionists fault tempting the weak-minded again.
