Sure, you have Sherree to thank for that. I was going to put up the whole book. LOL She strongly encouraged me to just put the link up. LOL
I have to say I was mildly surprised in reading through it.
What the northern states did to free black men, was appalling. Not to mention THEIR slaves. And Bezukhov taking the high moral ground, with "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" etc. and how bad the south was, and how great the north was. The only ones who had it worse that free black men in the north were Jews, and of course black slaves. Some of whom worked in brick yards chained together. They couldn't chain them together in the fields, in the South, due to tearing the crops up. So poof to that myth for southern slavery.
Wonder if anyone will want to change the name of New York City. The greatest institution of slave trading north of Bermuda. Named after the Duke of York who took over after the Dutch turned it over to the British, and was the owner of the British Slave merchant fleet, which was in competition with the Dutch.
I mean if "they" are going to take down Confederate monuments due to fighting for slavery (Not) then I think they should change the name of New York City too. The place where it all started.

Well I was ''surprised'' at Pa. Seems are hands were not so clean.
