Black slaves in the South knew where their bread was buttered, and I'm not surprised at this. Second of all, not every black in the South was a slave. Third of all, many white and black people were genuinely friends and wasn't a case of 'knowing their place and that's how they were friends'. I believe slavery would have ended on its own, either that or if people had been left alone and not be meddled with by carpetbagger libs from the North things would have advanced faster. Oh well...but that's just my opinion.

There has been some great research and discoveries on the black men who fought for the Confederacy. North and South magazine ran a great article last year (?) dispelling the many of the myths.

Great men such as HK, Hervey, Winbush, and untold others have traced their proud heritage across the South. We honor those men and the forefathers at the table. For their service we are thankful, their courage is strong.

I can show you some beef-eating cows, too.

In my youth I recall blacks and whites not only "getting along", but working together and posessing mutual respect. That was the early 1960's.

Then liberal anti-white racism started in, and there has been Hell to pay ever since.

Funny, we were 'integrated' in school for seven years when the Yankees in Boston were burning busses so their children didn't have to go to school with black kids.

Seems they can't stomach the idea that Southern whites and blacks got along with a few execptions, when in the North, the converse seemed to be the case.

"I believe slavery would have ended on its own, either that or if people had been left alone and not be meddled with by carpetbagger libs from the North things would have advanced faster. Oh well...but that's just my opinion." The only people in America who believed slavery wouldn't end on its own were in the North. Ah, the "tolerant" North, where bands of rampaging whites set upon blacks and killed them DURING THE CIVIL WAR! Yeah, the Civil War was fought to free the slaves, alright .
