Tell me more about the glorious southern culture that both blacks and whites shared in and loved.
Simple, just look at all things easily recognized as American, and trace their provenance from the South - music, literature, cuisine, law... The South, unlike the North, was divided only by race but held to one culture. The North, until very recentlly (circa 1950s) was a collection of ethnic ghettos (i.e., Irish, Italian, Ukranian, Swedish, Jewish, Dutch, Wasps, Blacks etc). The reason there is no North Eastern culture is because these groups never assimilated and melted, but remained isolated within their ghetto. You didn’t marry outside of your clan. This never happened in the South, there was a true melting of all cultures in the South, to include the black culture. It is a shared culture. About the only thing culturally I recognize to the North East is “show tunes” or the musical. This likely comes from England rather than NY. So why is it that the NE never developed any identifiable culture?
There was one culture that the NE did develop and that was the pious assholiness of puritanism. I guess after they got bored burning witches they thought burning the South was great sport.
More nonsense.
Your thesis boils down to this: Yankees hate black people cause they didn't share a culture with them.
Southerners liked black people so much they thought everyone should own one.
The major difference between the South and yogurt is that yogurt has a living culture.

They did every bit as they did in the north that also had slavery. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation only freed a few slaves of Southern territory held. It DID NOT free any northern slaves. That took the 13th amendment.
