re: How many poor dirt farmers owned slaves

Not very many, Grant, Sherman owned more slaves than all Southerners together.

Good God WE KNOW! Yes, blacks owned slaves. Yes, northerners owned slaves. Yes, the North was and is racist. Pointing a finger at them doesn't change the fact that the South still has problems. This is like your mom bitching at you for getting an F on a test, and your excuse is "Well Johnny from next door got an F-, but I don't hear you bitching at him." Focus on your own region.

Learn History people, Northern Indulistrist wanted all the Cotton produced in n the U S, then tax Southern States for goods produced in n the North.

The Northern Powers to be wanted the South to stop selling Cotton to Great Britian.

So are you implying that COTTON was the main reason for the Civil War? Wait, I thought it was States' Rights?

Blacks should shut Sharpton up, get Educated, stop having Children out of wedlock, stop killing people (what percentage of America is black and what percentage of blacks are in prison)

Oh this is a new idea! Gee, wonder why people didn't think of this before??? Wait, is it because millions of people aren't going to listen to a select few individuals telling them how to run their life? Go figure.
