We had a Civil War about this.

So. Anything from Virginia on down...

Did they ever apologize?

So you are saying blacks had a great life above the Mason-Dixon line before the civil war ? Is that right?

Virginia isn't really the South, its in the middle of the Eastern Seaboard. Its just hot, and below that line.

As to Quality Of Life.. remember House blacks?

You should ask the British and the bankers in NY & London who financed it. They built an economy in the Southern colonies that was dependent upon slavery to turn a big profit for them.

Why would you apologize for what other people did?

Did the Northern states ever apologize? All of the states had slavery at one time and the North profited greatly from slavery.

You kidding right?


When force is used to make people do things they do not wish to do, a bunch of resentment and bloodshed is created.
Everyone from those days are dead. Apologize for what?

So, did blacks ever thank the northern army for their sacrifice for their cause?

You are wrong for the most part, there was some slavery in the north, but not enough to amount to anything significant.
