Steve - it also has nothing to do with the Civil War. Not once did I mention the War of Northern Aggression in my post.
My response was only to correct the obvious erroneous statement regarding "honkies" - aka whites being the only ones who owned slaves or for whom "Live, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" applied. Given that there is documentation that shows whites were bought by blacks, such misinformation just continues a politically correct but historically inaccurate picture of slavery.
It was not only whites that owned slaves and it was not only in the "south". Which is why I ended the post as I did.
