"Some of you haven't surrendered to this very day"

Sir,,,you are correct and some of us never will.

[stand watie]

i ignored it when you first used the term, but not now as you have repeated it.

"BUCKEY", where i grew up down south was considered derogatory/RACIST term for a person in poverty of the black race/ethnic group.

is THAT what you intended?

may i gently suggest that you apologise to all the BLACK members of FR? and to PPM for being a liar/welcher/cheat/creep/fool.

Actually,

Deportation was your hero, Abraham Lincoln's idea.... He wanted to deport Blacks to Africa.

I am sorry if historical facts intefere with your racist, political agenda.

Facts are facts

the Alabama Constitution adopted in 1861 contained the following clause, "No slave in this State shall be emancipated by any act done to take effect in this State, or any other country?" Or that in the 1840's the Alabama legislature seriously considered legislation that would have deported all free blacks to Africa and charged the county they were living in for the passage?

That would be the same Virginia whose Constitution adopted in 1861 contained the clause, "Slaves hereafter emancipated shall forfeit their freedom by remaining in the Commonwealth more than twelve months after they become actually free, and it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to prescribe proper regulations for reducing such negroes to slavery."

I suppose Mr. Edgerton should have marched through Connecticut, Ohio, Illinios, Indiana and Oregon instead.

Oregon
"In June 1844, exclusionary laws were adopted in the Oregon territory that made it illegal for people of African descent to live in this part of the country. Those blacks who were here often maintained a low profile, and those whites with racist leanings ensured that they did.

Additional laws passed later restricted blacks from holding real estate, making contracts and marrying whites."

Colony of Connecticut. May 13, 1708
"This Black Code states that no slave could be acquired without the owner's knowlege (presumably in reference to run-away slaves) and that if a negro or mulatto servant disburb the peace or strike a white person, he shall be whipped. It seems that at the beginning of the eighteenth century Black slaves knew limits to the abuse they would endure and acted accordingly. It would be wrong to assume that slaves were either docile or passive, and in making the slave an object of legislation, he could thereby also become its subject.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio , That from and after the first day of June next. no black or mulatto person shall be permitted to settle or reside in this state, unless he or she shall first produce a fair certificate from some court within the United States, of his or her actual freedom, which certificate shall be attested by the clerk of said court, and the seal thereof annexed thereto, by said clerk.

"Black Codes "Colonial America" 1619 - 1776
All of colonial America was a slave society, and as such it took measures to minimize the threat of slave uprisings by keeping slaves subservient. To that end, by the early 1700s each colony had enacted laws- later referred to as Black Codes- that not only regulated the conditions of black slaves but also restricted the rights of free blacks. The middle of the 18th century found slavery to be firmly established, both physically and legally, in the American colonies.

Illinois
For the better part of Illinois' antebellum history, free blacks were only allowed to enter the state after posting a $1000 bond. In 1848, Illinois changed its constitution to absolutely prohibit the entrance of free blacks. In 1853, Illinois enacted legislation to enforce the ban

Indiana
Indiana's Constitution barred free blacks from owning property or entering contracts with wording almost identical to that contained in the Oregon Constitution.

Ohio
Ohio law called for the expulsion of all free negroes.

Deportation was your hero, Abraham Lincoln's idea.... He wanted to deport Blacks to Africa.

Far before Lincoln appeared on the Presidential radar screen men like John Breckenridge were supporting emigration of free blacks to Africa. Robert Lee actually paid passage for several of his former slaves to Liberia in the 1850's. In the 1840's the legislature of Alabama seriously debated a proposed law that would deport all free blacks in the state to Africa and bill the county that they were found in for the passage. I guess that would make John Breckenridge, Robert Lee and much of the Alabama legislature racists as well, wouldn't it?

"He's an outsider from another state who doesn't know what he's talking about," said Krystal Thomas, a 1999 graduate of Cherokee High...like the millions of morons march and most of the civil rights activities of the 60s.

I suppose Mr. Edgerton should have marched through Connecticut, Ohio, Illinios, Indiana and Oregon instead.

I'e never suggested that Mr. Edgerton should march through Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, or Oregon. But if Mr. Edgerton would have no reason to march through Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, or Oregon because of the laws that you complain about, then why would he want to march through North Carolina, Georigia, Florida, Mississppi or Alabama? In support of laws like these?

So is Mr. Edgerton marching in support of these laws or against them?

[PistolPaknMama]

But if Mr. Edgerton would have no reason to march through Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, or Oregon because of the laws that you complain about

I didn't complain about the laws, you did. That was over 140 years ago. I can't change them. You can't change them. Mr. Edgerton can't change them. So what's your point?

That Mr. Edgerton seems to be very selective about what heritage he is celebrating and what he is ignoring.

That Mr. Edgerton seems to be very selective about what heritage he is celebrating and what he is ignoring.

You mean that he is Southern and is marching across the SOUTH? You still have not stated your point.

As I expressed to you earlier, he could have marched across yankee states which had enacted the same laws as you complain about. So maybe its not about those laws. Maybe its not even about slavery. Maybe it was never about slavery. Maybe it is, instead, something about which you will never understand. And without your making a valid point, the world will never know.
