I believe that after the South lost the American Civil War, there
were many families who moved to NS. I was not aware that there were
Black family that also moved to NS.
They may have been the black slave owners who moved to NS.

That was my first thought, too..... most Yankees don't even know
there was such a thing!

My favorite part about touring any plantation in the south is that you
always hear about the good slave owners, especially this guy in South
Carolina near Charleston who was a preacher. He was a good slave owner
because he taught the slave children how to read the bible. Freaking
unbelievable that the docents would try and push that crap off on
those taking a tour.


There were no "good" slave owners, anytime, anywhere.

That should be "There are." Slavery is still practiced today in Africa,
the Middle East and Asia and in parts of Eastern Europe. I am still
trying to figure out why you, Harry, are not actively working towards
the complete and total abolition of slavery world-wide?
