Utter nonsense.
furthermore, slavery was DYING by 1860. i suspect "the peculiar institution" would have NOT been around at all by 1870. (in case you didn't know, slavery died out virtually everywhere in the hemisphere by then & W/O a bloody war.)
Complete nonsense.
as i said, your inbred PREJUDICE against the southland/southerners has BLINDED you. furthermore, your position is simplistic,ridiculous & (imVho) INFEFENSIBLE.
Sheer idiocy.
Where's the book?
care for a "do over", as that post rather nicely "makes my case" about your PREJUDICE-induced blindness to REALITY??? further, your post likely convinces NOBODY of you position.
laughing AT you.
