The Koshers sided with the Confederacy. Slavery was still legal in some states in New England until the EARLY 20TH CENTURY!!! The biggest slaveholder was a black. In some states, there were MORE white Irish slaves than there were black slaves. The "Rebel Flag" is NOT the Confederate Flag. It is the Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. The real Confederate Flag looked similar to the State Flag of Texas. Public Schools = stupidity centers. [/quote] I love teaching civil war history, The best question you can ever ask anyone that doesn't know what they need to know is, If the South was fighting for slavery do you honestly think that 99% of southerners were fighting for the 3% that owned slaves? Or were they fighting for economic freedom? I've yet to see an honest answer to my question from anyone because it's an absurd notion at best! [/quote]
