I just want to say one thing in defense of the Southern Plantation owner. I am from the south, I was raised in the south and I have been a student of history my entire life. The North has this IMHO misconnotation as to how slaves were treated. Here is the facts: Slaves were VERY VALUABLE property, it behooved the owner to make sure his slaves were happy, healthy and well fed. To mistreat them only resulted in misfortune for the owner. Its a documented fact that when the Civil War ended, blacks in the south found themselves far WORSE off then before. The North did basically NOTHING to help them out, they were left to fend for themselves, I believe we are suffering TO THIS DAY from that lack of attention and assistance. Freedom is a wonderful thing, but not if your starved to death, or made to work for wages insufficient to care for you and your family, and left with no medical care, no roof over your head and little food to eat. jdn
