Do you know what percentage of the adult population of South Carolina were free, what percentage were allowed to vote?

Do you have any idea how blacks were treated in the North in those days? What percentage were allowed to vote and so on?

And why stop there? Why not indict the South for not allowing women to vote?

I always enjoy comparing life expectancy for blacks in the antebellum south with the life expectancy of their kinfolks in West Africa at the time

not to mention standard of living....anyone here seen slave quarters on plantations

no worse than most yeoman class folks in rural areas

the issue was over one man owning another insofar as slavery went, not about their treatment so much...not in North America.

I thought this thread was about comparisons to today not just more bait for south bashers?

their little gang must be meeting up this morning...no Muzzzies to defend or Sarah Palin for them to bash...

just their bigotry towards white in general and southerners in particular on display as usual

shame...could have been a cool thread....but they always ruin it...and they wonder why we really fought them...they're jerks then and still are today...and they almost all vote Democrat.
