don't you just WISH it was a distortion?? in point of fact, you are 100% WRONG, as usual, on this issue.face it, you have been LIED TO & made a FOOL OF on this issue, by the self-righteous, arrogant,self-serving elitists of the northeast.

SLAVERY was the cornerstone of the damnyankee economy for so long as the "peculiar institution" was PROFITABLE in damnyankeeland.

the slaveOWNERS of damnyankeeland hands are just as dirty as those of the southland's slaveOWNERS.

in the north, MOST of the slaves were owned by major corporations, like banks,insurance comnpanies & railroads, BUT located elsewhere (for example, the FIRST STATE BANK of BOSTON owned more than 5,000 slaves in the Carolinas, Missouri, Brazil & in Haiti.)

where your slaves ARE located has nothing to do with your MORALITY!

Nonsense. Slavery never took root in the North due to the different type of agriculture practice there.

That's nice. So what? That still doesn't change the fact that only about 5% of the people in the North obtained a benefit from slavery, while the number in the South was around 30-35%.
