Subject: RE: BS: Gettysburg Address
Well, Ron, given the way things have gone down, yeah, maybe I could have reluctantly accepted slavery fir another 60 years if it meant that Jim Crow would have died with it... Problem is, black folks were still livin' in terror and being lynched up until the 60's in the South...

The cost to the nation to replace slavery with Jim Crow was not, IMHO, worth it...
