>>Somehow, the whole issue of Southern gentility sort of leaves me cold.<< Well, that's not the point I was trying to make. I am sure you make a distinction between, say, a Scranton steelworker and a Boston brahmin in behavior and sensibility, don't you? Actually I have never met either of those, but I've been around lots of very racist people who would never dream of using the "n" word. Many of them Yankees. They use code like "good neighborhoods." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BTW, there was another state's rights issue -- tariffs on manufactured goods. The industrial north wanted them, the agricultural south did not. South Carolina threatened to secede over this issue when Andrew Jackson was president, but he told them he'd invade them and bring them back into the Union and they knew he meant it. It was an important issue to the South - and one reason the British favored the South although they remained neutral due, primarily, to the slavery issue. They had freed their own slaves in 1833 (and it was completed some years later, I think 1840).
