If a BLACK entered Illinois, they had 30 days to vacate the state, else they were fined up and deported. If unable to pay he fine, they were sold into indentured servitude (up to 99 years of service). That's yankee slavery in action. I know it's a "fine line", but it seems like that's the way yankees operate.

So what you are saying, in this blatant tu quoque of a post, is that conditions in Illinois were bad. In fact one might say that conditions were almost as bad for blacks in Illinois as they were in Virginia or every other southern state. I wouldn't go that far since conditions in the south were much worse, but you always were one for extremes. In any case does that accurately sum up the point you are trying to make?
