Wrong....the some of the border states did not free the slaves until late 1865 with the 13th amendment. States that had never been under anything but Union authority.

It was first thigs first after the war. If southern politicians hadn't fought so hard for institution of slavery, it probably would've been outlawed in the 1700s.

Always excuses..always pointing fingers. Typical Yankee.

And the typical Yankee votes Dem today whether you like to admit that or not.

I find it funny how you blame black migration for all the woes in Yankeeland yet have the gall to call us racists down here. Maybe we should ping all of FR's resident black FReepers so they can see how much you appreciate them in your midst...lol...that is too funny.

In your world of pointy heada and fingers:

"Those damned Southern slaveowning bastards had the gall to be so nasty and inhospitable that they forced the negroes to migrate up north and now we have the chore of dealing with them and they have subsequently skewed the political demographics to the point that I am huffy"

On behalf of my ancestors, I'd like to personally apologize for making your little ol Yankee life so deplorable by forcing you to have to take in the negroes who have caused you so much grief....noble as you are ...it must be that much the worse...lol

I bet you don't even see that do you in your blind zeal...lol

GOP was right....you are best served ignored.
