You complain, quite rightly, about the racism that was endemic in the North but choose to ignore the fact that the south didn't bother learning from it. Look into the Black Codes that were in place in every southern state by the end of 1865. The restrictions they placed on Blacks returned them almost to a state of slavery. Northern states made it illegal for Blacks to live there and after the war many southern towns and counties did the same. Race riots in New York in 1863? Race riots in Memphis and New Orleans in 1866. You were no better than the North, worse in some ways because the Black Codes returned every Black person to a state appreaching slavery, even those who had been free before the war. Even those who had fought for the south during the war. And don't blame them on reconstruction because they predated reconstruction by over a year and were parially responsible for it. And then when reconstruction was over, the Jim Crow laws began. So please don't jump on any moral high horse and pretend that you all were any more tolerant than the North was. I ain't buying it.
Non-sequitur... I might behove you to completely read my posts. As a southerner, I am totally aware of the wrongs done in the south and surely don't need any 'education' from you to remind me.
You accuse me of being on a 'moral high horse', but even after you describe with a 'broad brush' some of the discriminations in the north, you still come back to accuse me of being on a moral high horse. Amazing. Sir, it is YOU who are on the moral high horse (along with your compatriot LLAN_DDEUSANT).
For example, LLAN_DDEUSANT totally blames the South above for 'making' northerners conduct the slave trading business because, he says, the Southerners were willing buyers who created this market. He once again attributes no moral responsibility to the north. You people's logic is beyond comprehension by this 'illiterate' southerner.
But, you and I have corresponded before, and we both are fully aware, I'm sure, of the disgusting opinion we have of each other.
