I am sure you are right, that the blacks lived in the big house, and the whites lived in the slave cabins often as not.

I am also sure, since race didn't matter, that blacks owned white slaved.

Right.

i was recently asked a really smart question at a lecture i gave at a local community college class on the WBTS:

"Had the south won their was for independence, what would have happened to slavery in the immediate post-war period??

i said that (in my OPINION) that:

It would have been politically IMPOSSIBLE for slavery to long survive, given the HONORABLE & BRAVE service of over 100,000 Black FREEDOM FIGHTERS. additionally, the coming of the Industrial Revolution to agriculture would have QUICKLY killed the profit in slavery & the time would have NOT been far off when "'ole massa" would have called "his people" together & said: "I can't afford to feed & house you anymore. There is the road. Get on it by sundown!" (this end of slavery would have been "UGLY"!)

(my readers KNOW that i am NO fan of the slavers, as they "dealt in human flesh/suffering" & cared about NOTHING but $$$$$.)

I doubt that. But you're dismissing the fact that the Confederate Army didn't segregate the blacks and the Union Army did. Why? Because the so called anti-slavery yankees refused to have blacks in their ranks!

I am also sure, since race didn't matter, that blacks owned white slaved.

I don't think any blacks owned white slaves but free blacks did own black slaves.

Are you sure you want to pursue this path? It only exposes the extreme prejudice and racist attitudes of the 'liberators' and their progeny.
