I think he wants to keep them riled up since now the left has used Business and Corporations to speak out.

By far most of the money the Waltons donate in politics goes to the Republican party. But the 'left' is using Walmart to pressure Hutchinson?

So this is everyone's fault but the Republican politicians? LOL

Sorry...but try to THINK larger than that. You have to go back to 1850...not just 1950. By 1850 there were 20 free states and 16 slave states. The number of free new states outnumbered slave states 6 to 1 starting with California in 1850. Most slave states were recognizing that slavery was becoming passe if for no other reason than technology. Confederate border states were converting on their own. Maryland, West Virginia, Washington DC, Tennessee, and Missouri all abolished slavery before the civil war. Kentucky and Delaware were on the verge of abolishing slavery prior to the civil war. Slavery would have been abolished on its own without a civil war. The assimilation into white society would (I believe) have been a far smoother transition than what we experienced. When you attempt to FORCE people to do something, they tend to rebel.

Sorry if that is inconvenient for you but it is historical reality.

I'm not a math whiz but I'm pretty sure that 20 to 16 is not a 6 to 1 ratio. Technology such as the invention of the cotton gin actually caused slavery to expand...not decrease. And to say the slave states didn't want to expand slavery into the new territories is a revisionist lie that can be easily disproven with a HS history book.

So back to the question.... who do you blame for the overwhelming poverty and ignorance of the southern red states?

By far.....it just goes to show that the left only worries about that which with they complain about. But only when its not in their favor.

Fault for what? For a law that the left made a big deal about, that wasn't a big deal in the first place. While CNN and the MS Media is doing its best to keep the bad news coming out that's directed at BO and Hillary. Okay, we will see if this issue can distract from all the rest. :lol:

You didnt read. Since California joined in 1850. When seccession occured it initially involved only 7 states. That number grew due to the mismanagement of the crisis.

Slavery was dying. Slavery and the transition from slavery would have been much better and more effectively handled. Not only was there a civil war but there was created generations of hatred and animus. anywhere between 620,000 and 850,000 people died. And lets not pretend those problems with race and racism only exist in the south.

Do you know which country imported the most slaves? Brazil...about 40% of the overall slave trade went there. Now...do you know when Brazil abolished slavery? 1888. Without a civil war, amazingly enough.

liberals/progressives/Democraps/commies.....all the same to me.

Well, aren't you the astute commentator on politics. Hundreds, maybe thousands, must wait to read your take on the big social and political issues. Why, my mind is boggled by trying to understand the levels of education and research and the degree of interaction with academic luminaries it must have taken to lead you to such insight as, "liberals/progressives/Democraps/commies.....all the same to me".
I know I, for one, can hardly wait to see what you come out with next.
