Oh please. You show your ignorance. Slavery is wrong. We got it. Compassion? Too bad the 500,000 slaves that came here didn't get to go to the middle east instead.

We both agree that slavery was wrong but do you believe that the South's resistance to the Civil Rights Movement was wrong?

By they way, when you can only compare your culture to Middle Eastern Culture you are not doing a very good job defending your heritage.

I wasn't comparing my culture. I was telling you reality. We had 500,000 slaves come to America. That is in comparison to some 4,000,000 that went to Brazil by the Portuguese, 2,500,000 to Spanish possessions, 2,000,000 to the British West Indies, and 1,600,000 to the French West Indies. Not to mention the ones who went to the middle-east--and are still being sold into slavery in the Sudan and Mauritania.

Now, don't leave out the northern slave states like Delaware who fought on the side of the north. It wasn't just the racist southerners who engaged in slavery, you know.

You could also explain why the non-racist government of Lincoln issued executive orders to lynch 69 Indians in Minnesota, and 88 blacks in New York City, and had a conscription policy that sent northern states into an upheaval. And if it was all about us being racists then explain why the U.S. Supreme Court declared that putting the South under martial law ['reconstruction'] was unconstitutional in 1876.

My point is that the causations of that war are not as clear cut as you think.

What does that have to do with the causation of the WONA? I'm not up for bait and switch.
