No use to try and explain to him Hunble. It never fails, slavery is always pointed to as strictly a southern issue when in fact the institution was prevalent and legal in all of America at various times. Do I think it was disgusting? You bet but I have the advantage of looking at it from today's views. Have no guilt about it either as I wasnt born then. Nor was it limited to blacks only. But then, you know this:) Just trying to save you a headache because you know some people dont care to learn anything that might interfere with their preferred negative view of Southerners. And anyway.... we have much more important things to deal with in the here and now. How can we stand together against our common enemies when we cant even quit sniping at each other about something that is long gone in the past? You see my nic, you know what I am and what area of the country I am from but I long ago decided I would not try to foist knowledge on those that do not want it.
Dixie no truer words ever spoken.

Ah but only the southern states were willing to launch a bloody rebellion to defend it. The Northern states ended if peacefully.
