its still would be more than 3%....if you dont like mine than lets see yours....your right bo according to this anyway......It was not just 3% of Southerners who owned slaves. How can we take anything you say seriously when you start out with some stupid lie like that?That's right. Rich Democrats owned the slaves. That was 3% of Southerners. The poor farmers were brainwashed into thinking the Union Army was invading to take their land, rape their wives and burn their homes (which they did) so the Southern farmers fought.
The rich also owned the newspapers so it was an easy sell.
Abraham Lincoln wanted to deport all the slaves to South America and the Bahamas for labor (fact Google it).
But he couldn't. Slaves were "property" and the 4th Amendment bans unlawful seizure of property.
So....he needed to free them to make them "people"....but not citizens.....so he could deport them. And he burned the South to do it.
The war took its toll on Lincoln and we know what happened after.
But there it is.
Selected Statistics
Those are some nicely selected stats.
I like that they count FAMILIES that owned slaves, not actual SLAVE OWNERS.
That way the small farmers who had one slave and 6 kids? His kids get counted as slave owners!
Even if they died before they grew up and ever gave the slave a single order!
So, are you standing by those numbers you posted or not?
Big difference between 3% and a THIRD.
Did you realize the numbers were false?
If not, don't you want to thank me for pointing out that those jerks lied to you?
