Incidentally, it's not like you succeeded in changing Southern culture either. All the sins of the Jim Crow era and the responsibility for them all deserve to be layed at the feet of Yankee Reconstruction governments. The only thing the War of Northern Aggression accomplished was that you basically forced poor whites, who until then had owned land and were capable of supporting themselves, into the shackles of tenant farming and later on sharecropping.
At the same time, for the most part, blacks were also forced into sharecropping and tenant farming, except for those who had kissed ass to Union authorities during Reconstruction. They were provided with money by the Yanks, and given dominion over their less connected bretheren. Such wonderful Northern intervention, right?
I understand why southron supporters insist on holding themselves blameless anything and everything relating to starting the rebellion, but this is a new one on me. Why is Jim Crow the responsibility of the North? After all it was a system supported by virtually all white southerners for close to 100 years following Reconstruction's end.
