I wonder did these Black slave holders treat their slaves as badly as the whites.After the civil war did they ride around with hoods over their faces killing free Blacks laves. When these former slaves tried and some of them got educated,tried to bring the rest up to date on things that pertained to their potential to provide for their families put up road blocks to keep them in their place. whites did everything they could to keep the Black man down.
White Democrats did, they still are.
