North Carolina and I've had the opportunity to talk to everyone from business executives to redneck country boys and the honest-to-God truth is that most white Americans are not racists. - I remember reading a Civil War book about the Southern soldiers being appalled at the way the Yankees treated blacks.

There’s a lot less racism in the Deep South than in the liberal NE or Left Coast.

Here in Orlando, for years the PIO of the Sons of the Confederacy was a local Black dentist.

Uncomfortable truths.

1. At start of Civil War, there were more Freemen in US than slaves.

2. Black Confederate officers commanded both Black and White troops in Civil War.

No doubt. The Union soldiers treated them like real people.
