Subject: RE: BS: Was Poe a pro-slavery racist?
Well, I'll be the first to admit that I know very little of Poe... With that said, however, Poe must have ahd some ties to Richmond, Va., which BTW was the Capitol of the Confederacy and there is "The Poe Museum" right there less than a half a mile from the Capitol building... Maybe you could get some insights from the folks there on his views... It is located around the 1800 block of East Main Street...
