 Ok. I guess the root topic I'd like to address  is that of slavery. Most people think of slavery as what Harriet Beecher Stowe presented it as, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin. Harriet took the absalute worst cases of slavery there ever was and deceivingly represented slavery as such in her book. She did this in order to fire up the Northerners who had NO idea of what slavery was really like. Slavery down South was ABSALUTELY NOT!!! what it was thought to be up North. Read the Slave Narratives and you will see what I mean! These slaves loved their masters. These slaves say they were treated as part of the white slave owner's family. These slaves willingly served their masters! T.J. Jackson's slave refused to be let free!

I'd like to pose a question. Were the slaves better off 5 years before the war or 5 years after? Before: they had food, they had shelter, they were (the majority) were treated well. After: they have no food, they have no shelter, they can't buy land, they can't find work down south so they go up north where "their liborators" are, and the yanks themselves refuse to let the black man work!

No, slavery was not  as you think it was. Sherman's march WAS as you were told it was.

His very name is a word I hate.
