Uh oh. Damage control. It looks like a slave has escaped from the Democrat/liberal Thought Control plantation.

Edgerton blamed Northern reconstructionists for pitting blacks and whites against each other after the Civil War.

Sure it was. What about before and during the war? From Article II, Section VII of the 1861 Georgia Constitution.

1. The importation or introduction of negroes from any foreign country, other than the slave-holding States or Territories of the United States of America, is forever prohibited.
2. The General Assembly may prohibit the introduction of negroes from any State; but they shall have no power to prevent immigrants from bringing their slaves with them.
3. The General Assembly shall have no power to pass laws for the emancipation of slaves.

Mr. Edgerton will be entering Alabama soon. I wonder if he was aware that 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? But, like he said, it's all Reconstruction's fault, isn't it?

Bingo!
