And now all of a sudden you’re trying to call someone out in saying Northerners when into the South in the civil rights era just to cause trouble.

I'm asking why they were there. Why does someone travel from Massachusetts, New York and such to Mississippi? Weren't there enough problems in Baltimore, Detroit, or Washington?

Is there a political power angle to this? I'm suspecting there was. Look up "Free Soil Party", and be amazed that it was headquartered in New York instead of Chicago. Why people a thousand miles away cared about conditions in the territories doesn't make any sense on the face of it.

But if you look at the political power equation, then it seems to have a pattern, and that pattern always seems to favor dominance for North Eastern political preferences in Washington DC.

But I didn't ping you, I didn't consider you reasonable enough to even contemplate the idea.

Regarding every effort at upheaval, look who is poised to gain.

Cui Bono?

Gee, maybe they were motivated by the horrible realization that a segment of the American population were being brutally disenfranchised simply because of their skin color.

Just when you had me thinking you were an adult, you prove you're a child, and a dull one at that.

You really need to familiarize yourself with what life was like for many in Mississippi 50 years ago.

Or maybe just admit that you don't care about anything but your asinine theory.
