As I suspected. You can't carry on a reasoned discussion. My question doesn't just deal with pre-Civil War America, but deals with current-day Africa, pre-liberation Iraq and current-day Cuba, just to name a few. Yet, you are so wrapped-up in your parochial world of yesteryear, you are unable to understand my question
I understand your question perfectly. I don't have to be ignorant, obnoxious, bigoted, dishonest and insulting as you are to know what you're saying.
