And I assume the same of you sir!
Actually, I never said that the southern leaders werent bigoted, racist, or whatever one would choose to call them.
I would admit that by today standard most if not all were. My problem with the anti-south pro-north crowd is that they wont admit the same of their own leaders. MOST all white folks during the 1861-65 war(north and south) would be considered racist by todays standards.

Who ever says anything else? It's clear that most people of the day in 1860, north or south, had no use at all for blacks.

President Lincoln said as late as December 1862 that he strongly favored colonization.

Is anyone you know denying that?
