Opie seems to have his mind made up as to right and wrong, left and right, black and white. All things are absolute in his world.
A person who writes about Pro-slavery, makes him Pro-slavery. In other words anything a person writes about, makes them Pro-that particular subject. A person cannot study a subject and write about the findings without being Pro-that subject. People don't write about things just to expose them???
Quote, "not everyone owned slaves just points out how much the non-slave owners were used". That gives zero credibility to the possibility that the much larger number of non-slave owners were not influencing the smaller number of slave owners to join the fight for heritage and states rights. IMO, that is very biased and short sighted.
Quote, "when an entire(100% -my entry) part of the country hates...like the 19th century South hated the blacks. Actually some of the Southern whites of the 19th century had compassion for the blacks and aided some of them.
Should anyone speak in absolute terms just to stress their point when they know it is inaccurate?
