yep. typical of the 5-6% of southerners who owned slaves;most of the rest of the south's population not only didn't own a slave, but couldn't have cared less what the planter-aristocrats wanted.

the WBTS was caused by slavery in precisely the same way that fish cause floods.

for 90% of southerners (at least), the war was about just ONE main cause: freedom for dixie.

for those of us who favor LIBERTY, it still is.

Slave ownership devolved on 50% of whites in MS, LA and SC and on 1/3 of southerners elsewhere. There were more slave owners in the south than there were real property owners in the north.
