Fixing the South’s economy doesn’t mean the slavery/people are property issue would have been settled. There is no justification that the plantation system ending would have meant blacks were going to be equal and free people down there. No logical link at all.

Sure there is. Eventually, the ownership of people wouldn’t have made any economic sense.

I went through 4 years of college with that yell at every football game. Pike fraternity friends. :-)

I’d heard about it all my life but never heard a real Rebel yell it...
Its ours forever as needed.
