First they lost their war to keep slaves, then they lost their slaves. Poor little slaveocrats.

Being still mad about losing their slaves might explain a lot about their anti-union attitude, too.

It's a good thing that slavery was used for growing cotton rather than the corn grown mostly in the northern states, otherwise dissolving it would be impossible. The human stomach secretes low-pH hydrochloric acid (not to mention digestive enzymes), but no matter how much acid you have, the corn comes out intact.The South's Slavery is Dissolved!
Too much acid, man.

That's a rather embarrassing excuse for exoneration.
I bet the writer is tired to hearing the claim that racist Southern Democrats became racist Southern Republicans -- the truth hurts.
Don't forget the Republican Lee Atwater's acknowledgement of Republican racism:
Lee Atwater -- the father of the Willie Horton ad.You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nigger, nigger.”

yep... the equation goes... Southern Democrat + Civil Rights = Southern Republican ...Stinger wrote: racist Southern Democrats became racist Southern Republicans -- the truth hurts..
similar to the equation Conservative / Southern = Racist...
