Fact. In summer 2001, my family and I were driving from Denver to Miami to take a week long cruise for summer vacation. We drove through Mississippi along I-20 and stopped for gas before crossing into Alabama. I go inside to prepay and the station attendant was a large, very jovial white gentleman wearing not only Confederate Flag suspenders, a Confederate flag hat, but also had a HUGE display of Confederate memorabilia behind the counter. It was a shock to the senses to be honest.
"These products - e.g. redwood, maple syrup, Swedish fish, Irish stew - are peculiar to the climate verging on the polar regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the white race can bear exposure to the frozen north."
I don't know any children who'd get really upset studying slavery. Especially the children these guys know-- and they're absolutely pretending, as they know very well that they don't care themselves. Anyway, children just learning about it wouldn't think it had anything to do with them. And if they did get upset, the teachers would be correct in telling them, "you weren't alive then, and you did not do these things. We all understand now how horrible it all was, and that's what I should think the teacher would say, and that all would be true.
My husband who was from NC I surprised once in the middle of uttering the strange sentence 'the abolitionists came down and pushed everybody around..." "What?" I said, laughing. "What about abolitionists?" wrinkling my nose as if this was the start of a funny nursery rhyme. "Well, you know how ..." It was just a weird artifact in his head from 3rd grade I guess. He thought it was too. He was pretty hard on his old region.
I had a hard time down there. Though I was as nice and as I knew how to be. I had every reason to be nice! But, chips on their shoulders. Same among the younger generation.
Anyway, if there'd been a boycott, the South would have been so out of luck. NOrthern states would have made up for it. And in the South they'd have had no one to wait on them. I'd better go to bed, this is beginning to seem like such a good idea but ---it's too late to avoid the Civil War-- dang!
That is true. The cotton gin (which separates the fibers from the seed) allowed plantations to process much more cotton than previously, requiring more labor.
It should be easy to find.

Human trafficking is human trafficking & the Lost Cause can kiss my lily white ass
Dunno why those "heritage" losers are so proud of it.

I heard slavery was dying out till the cotton gin appeared. Is that so?
When they open the door and he is standing there is indescribable.
The union offered twice to buy the freedom of all enslaved people here and was turned down twice. Right?

The mechanisation of cotton spinning and weaving in Britain also massively increased demand for raw cotton.

Celebrating treason and slavery!
stupid fucking racist traitorous southerners
