I grew up hearing Stowe never was in the South but she lived in Ohio across the river from Kentucky. It seems it was common practice to send slaves across the river to run errands for their masters, including caring money to pay accounts, pick up provisions etc. The more you read on the day to day relationship of master and slave the more you have to scratch your head. 21st century man thinks he knows what he has not the foggiest, but don't try telling him.
Slavery was evil but most have no clue why therefore they are at risk for falling for the same evil but not in the form of slavery. (Everyone should be thinking socialism right about now)(I try to be helpful with my brackets)

A lot of people saw the movie "ROOTS" and that is how they perceive the way it was in the South.
