Right, then, Sarge:

Your original post maintained that slavery wasn't so bad for the happy little Darkies 'cause ol' Massa extended to them the same care and concern he would do for livestock and that their lives were better than that of the poor northern Factory Worker.
So, "fatuous: adj : complacently or inanely foolish" This seems an accurate description of your thesis.

As to "moronic: adj:so senseless as to be laughable; absurd, foolish, nonsensical, preposterous, silly..."
Citing the Johnstown Flood[1889], Sinclair's The Jungle[1906], or the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire[1913] as somehow illustrative of ante-bellum social and econnomic conditions is, well,... moronic.

Suggest you re-read those works yourself. You obviously missed quite a lot. A basic history text would also be helpful for arranging your facts in chronological order.

As to your expressed desire that no-one mistakenly group you and I together: Sarge, I could not have said it better myself!!

Yo, Banj, my man! Best pity yourself into the bargain.

Cheers.
