Enlightment06, When he said the "War of Nothern Aggression", I wasn't even gonna respond to him. I mean, it's just one of those things. It's like those people who claim the Holocaust never happened. People only see what they wanna see. I will never glorify the "Old South". I mean I bet those people who do will regale you all day with stories of chivalry and sipping mint juleps on the veranda...I sound like Blanche Deveroux on the "Golden Girls...but the true South was much more than that. It was a place of SLAVERY, LYNCHING, RAPE ect. I could go on and on. So kafromTN, you see why we as African American have a true memory of the South. People who look back on the "Old South" are those whose ancestors never had to work in cotton field and watch as their master and his prospered while their family ate table scraps and lived in a shack. Their grandmothers were never raped by their slave master. And their grandfathers were never beaten or worse LYNCH!
