That would certainly surprise the multitude of blacks who willingly fought in the Civil War for the South.

This just goes to show you that slavery would have lasted as long as it was profitable but even if it had ended, African Americans in this country would have been treated as 2nd class citizens.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
