Unlike the tale of the virtuous South, which was enforced in practically every school and university in the South. Those schools were indoctrinating people in those pro-south assertions and tenets. Have known to many Southerners, over 50 years or so, educated in Southern schools in the 50s and 60s. Almost every one of them firmly believe every word of what I said in my last post. Who indoctrinates who?
Seems pretty evident now, just who is doing the indoctrination. The myth of the Great White Hope in the north riding on their white horses to save the poor slaves. Myth. Four Union states were slave states, Lincoln himself states that slavery was fine if it meant keeping the union. Slaves were not freed at the conclusion of the Civil War in Union states. The Constitution of the United States had to be amended in order to do that. The Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime proclamation with no force of law outside of states in rebellion, which no longer recognized US law in the first place. So, that wartime ploy to foment slave rebellion in the Confederacy was enshrined for what reason? It fed the myth.
