Right, so that is why you bring up slavery in every conversation, like we all personally owned slaves?
Though your reply was to someone else, please take note I have yet to mention slavery.
Oh, and incase your ever interested, this yankee boy will put his pig pickin skills and his BBQ sauce (vinegar based or tomato based) up against any born and bred southerner. Many of my native friends readily admit that I am the only yankee they know who knows what they are doing around a pig.
It's a matter of who drew first blood. The post I responded to said that the South had a better economy than the North prior to 1861. I refuted that by saying it's easier to be wealthy if you don't pay your help. Again, you Southerners have a bad habit of starting a fight and then complaining of the outcome.
