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.
It's is far more telling to compare the life expectancy of a Southern slave to the mine and factory workers in the North. Many of them never saw 45, whereas the average life expectancy for male slaves was about 56.
The story that caused this thread to be posted was nothing but Northern bashing to begin with. We just want equal time.
