The villain was Governor George Wallace of Alabama, who stood as an independent in the same election, and believed in segregation.

It's true that the United States had racial problems and committed great injustices against the black population. But just show me any other nation at any time in history whose people fought against those wrongs and sought to right them with the same assiduity and commitment to moral rectitude as the people of the United States. There are none.

Thanks for the ping okie.

One of the ways to tell these British who claim America is bully and naive, is to shove them with names of Rudyard Kipling, Joseph P. Chamberlain, and Benjamin Disraeli.

That's true but I'm reminded of Wilburforce who faithfully introduced an anti-slavery bill in Parliament for approximately 20 years. He was slandered, vilified, insulted and yet in the end, his bill passed and slavery was officially abolished in England before we were able to finally decide that same issue at the cost of much blood.

We have to be careful here, the issue started out as state's rights but evolved into slavery.

Your point is well taken however. The PC crowd likes to believe that we are the only evil people on earth, meanwhile, slavery exists in the Sudan and many other places, they just turn a blind eye, I mean after all, they actually think that Iraq was better under Saddam.
