Christine, did you see the Newsweek magazine with the cover story "Slavery In America"? I think it was two weeks ago. Anyway, one of the authors of the article stated that only 5% of the people in the South held slaves. I was taken aback at how low the number was. Now if this is true would you or anyone else know how 5% of the population (slave owners) could motivate the other 95% (non-slave owners) to fight a horribly bloody war with the Union Army for the primary purpose of allowing the 5% to keep their slaves? Something does'nt click here. What am I missing? Jim
