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. |

That was my first thought, too..... most Yankees don't even know there was such a thing! The Brits "outlawed" slavery more than 20 years before the U.S. civil war, and that included its territories, too. The blacks in Nova Scotia in the 19th century probably were descended from freed slaves from the American colonies and the early United States. A number of slaves were offered freedom by the Brits in exchange for their service in the military against the United States in the War of 1812, and were given land in Nova Scotia after that war. |

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

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? http://www.antislavery.org/english/s...y/default.aspx |

Given, there is real slavery abroad, but there is plenty of economic slavery right here in the good old USA. |
