And if the north isn't racist at all and they are America's heroes against such evil why did they re paint the statue of liberty? I mean she was black at first

i am happy slavery ended, though i am not happy that the north barged its way into our business. what goes on within our boundaries is our business. that's kind of why we have states. it would've died out and yet they felt the need to overstep their boundaries, much like they're doing with health care, gun control, and immigration today. every corner of the globe has had slavery at one point and it ended at one point. the south was nothing unique in that regard.
I think the North needed to barge in. Sure, slavery would have eventually died out, but when? Cuba and Brazil didn't end slavery until 1888. Slavery is still practiced in many parts of the world now. My point is that if the North had not barged in, the South would have continued on with slavery. What I read in the Articles of Secession shows me this.
Mississippi Declarations of Causes of Seceding States
Georgia Declarations of Causes of Seceding States Civil War
Texas Declarations of Causes of Seceding States
Confederate Constitution Secession Articles of American Civil War
These are some of the documents regarding secession and slavery.

Maybe the South has been imbued with the ghost of Rodney Dangerfield?

A brilliant comedian. Most, including myself, know him mainly from Caddyshack. He died in 2004, and he would often say he got 'no respect'.

I hardly know what Caddyshack is either. I was born in 1986 and I've only been to a movie theater maybe 3 or 4 times in my life.

Ha! that was a good one.. I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. I take it you haven't been to NYC, especially the bronx. Haha I don't have problems with my grammar. I am sorry that the south does not compares to the North. I have a Master's degree in Computer Security. so Also Puerto Rico is part of the US. It must be the education in the south that does not teaches that Puerto Rico is part of the U.S. That's a shame.

Also, you don't have to be a native to write proper. All you need is education, and that will do the work

You can't be serious......

Apparently in the Bronx English grammar is not in the curriculum. It is here in the South .
