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.

As I have pointed out earlier, the southern culture defines the American culture. It was the only place where diverse cultures existed and communicated their cultures to a greater culture. This did not happen in the North East. This is the reason that those lacking an authentic culture are always trying to find ways to attack the south; projection and transference. The North East can at best be described as a legal culture. The truth is it is still pretty much a ghetto culture - pick your ethnic neighborhood and resturant, but you will find no “northeastern culture”.
As to the treatment of blacks, I had the opportunity to watch force busing occur in Detroit and Boston around about 1970-72. These were extremely violent events. The south, I should point out, had integrated in 1962 peacefully. (note-much of the county schools were already integrated because the county could not afford two school systems). I recall both Detroit and Boston shotguns were fired at buses loaded with kids. Forcing ghettos to intermingle was a violent process. To this day I can find ghettos within every major NE city (dittos the West and Mid west). Pray you are not a black man in an Irish neighborhood in Boston or a white guy in East Orange, NJ.
Again, you can disparage the south, but hopefully you have something more sustainable than a gated community to offer in its stead.
stop right now you’re using facts , you know it confuses them,
