[Mark in the Old South]

Fiction or not, Roots was not entirely in error. It was a story and a plausible one with some fact in it (how much I do not know) The point I have been trying to make is the vast canvas that was Southern slavery. Any blind man feeling the elephant can point to the tail and say it was like a snake while another can feel the side and declare it is like a sturdy wall. Both are right and both are wrong as far as it goes. They can argue till they are purple it does not change the fact it is an elephant.

Agreed.
