Subject: RE: BS: Slavery in the world: NOT HISTORY.
Yeah, I was tryin' to argue on another thread that slavery, though not officially called "slavery" was practiced in the South up until the 1950's...
I'm sure this will get the carpet-baggers all up in arms again but, hey, when the Union left the South in 1876 Hayes/Tildon elction it, in essence, said, "Okay, Johnny Reb, have yer way with them folks."
And Johnny Reb sho nuff did...
Only freedom that blacks got from 1876 until Brown v. Topeka Board of Education was the freedom to be terrorized and impoverished...
