"This repudiates your contention that Delaware is a Southern state.
Just because it had slaves did not make it a Southern state...
And your contention that Delaware was a border state is wrong too." Apparently there is some disagreement on that subject:

The final three states to ratify the 13th amendment were:
- Delaware (1901)
- Kentucky (1976)
- Mississippi (1995)
So, clearly, Delaware was at least "Border State" if not "Southern".
Finally, I appeal to that ultimate of final authorities, Joe Biden: </sarc>
"They're going to put y'all back in chains"
“Finally, I appeal to that ultimate of final authorities, Joe Biden: </sarc>”
When Joe Biden is cited, even in jest, it's time to get out and leave the dog with the bone.
