I forgot to say my thoughts on slavery if that is part of what was being sought I also feel that it is wrong no matter the point in time in history and it does still occur to this day sadly.
My mother has been doing the whole family geology thing and I have many relatives that lived in the south before and during the Civil War.Several relatives fought for the Confederates one if fact was hanged after being a captured deep behind northern lines he was a raider so I'm sure he knew the risks.Other for wealthy relatives did actually own a small number of slaves
and interestingly enough my mother found a US census from the late 1880s I think was the time and three of the former slaves are listed as "family members" and they lived in the same house so I guess they decided to stay as a group rather than separate also my lost their wealth during the war so its not like they where forcing the others to stay the only thing is the census taker did not write down the former slaves last names so who know who they are related to now.
I yeh yei Gimpy come up with something better I know that you are smarter than that reply.
