Slavery more than sucked, Alouette. I would expect better of you.

I've made the Civil War and the issues involving it a particular field of study for over 15 years. I'm sitting here looking over my bookcase: "Slave Testimony" by John Blassingame, "Twelve Years a Slave" by Solomon Northrop, "Aren't I A woman," by Deborah Gray White, "The Autobiography of Frederick douglass," "Runaway Slaves: Rebels on the Plantation," "The Kidnapped and the Ransomed," and more and more and more.
I think I have read enough about American slavery from slave narratives to get an idea of what their lives were like. I have also read the dissenting religious opinions of the 1850's as to whether American slavery was sanctioned in the Bible.
Do please do not brush me off with personal insults.
I don't think that it is appropriate to compare the experience of slavery with the experience of the Holocaust.
