The “New England South haters” were pikers compared to the slavocracy when it came to fomenting hatred of and violence against one’s fellow countrymen. Some things never change...

So Harriet Beecher Stowe hated the South?

She made her novel's villain a Northerner who moved South, Simon Legree, and made her Southern whites generally admirable, if weak and flawed, figures.

Of course, slaveowners bent on secession would take Stowe for a South-hater and a villain, but they'd say that about anybody who didn't whole-heartedly support slavery.

Anyone who said or wrote a critical word about slavery was assumed to be an enemy and a devil.

That in this, as in so many other things, you automatically take the slavers' side, is yet another reason why conversations with you tend not to be worth the time.
