Well excuse me but that's Massachusetts heritage, not Southern.

Really? And none of those slaves made it to southern consumers, huh? You're like the drug addict blaming the supplier for his problem. If not for his addiction there would be no reason to supply the drugs. If not for the demand for slaves those Northern ships would never have left port. Southern heritage has slavery written all over it.

Most of em, when to Brazil as I recall. But that wasn't my point. I wasn't arguing that the South wasn't in a bad way on account of it's institution of slavery, what I was angry about was the ever present Yankee sense of moral superiority that has been carefully crafted ever since the war.
