The buying, selling, and enslavement of humans is not an evil practice?
I think so, do you? Too bad the northern slave traders persisted in buying them from the Africans who sold their own into slavery to begin with, and then perpetuated the practice in America.
Northerners profited from slavery in many ways, right up to the eve of the Civil War. The decline of slavery in the upper South is well documented, as is the sale of slaves from Virginia and Maryland to the cotton plantations of the Deep South. But someone had to get them there, and the U.S. coastal trade was firmly in Northern hands. William Lloyd Garrison made his first mark as an anti-slavery man by printing attacks on New England merchants who shipped slaves from Baltimore to New Orleans.

Ah - is this happening today? Oh yeah - in Austria - I forgot
Let me put it this way; if you were to try to remove my confederate flag without my permission, or damage it in any way - it would be, more than likely, the last thing you would ever do, or try to do!
doesn't bother me because people are just proud of their territory. i'm not ever going to live down south, though if i get loaded enough, i wouldn't mind having a condo on south beach, but people say that's not really the south. anyways, therefore, its not going to be in my face, so its ok.
in today's mobile world, if you can't change things about your area, then move to an area where you'd feel more at home.

We have a house in Texas and the people are great.

texas is definitely a fun state to visit. i don't think i could live there long term, but dallas and austin both were superb times.
however, some of the people i work with currently maintain that texas is more 'southwest' and not the 'real' south.
is that how texans feel?
