I suppose all the backcountry farmers, who had never even seen a black person, fought and died for slavery then. You've obviously got a vested interest in maintaining the triumphalist historical fiction written by the victors of that war. You cling to your illusions, and I'll deal with what I know from my own family history, OK?
