Re: The North's Economic Boom...

I agree George, I don't think the Northern People really cared about the Black man as a rule. The Emancipation proposal of 1827 proves this by the response it got from the Northerners.

For those who have not read this before, Bruce Catton wrote about an Emancipation proposal in 1827, the Southern Slave owners proposed to free the slaves after teaching them a trade and then distributing them throughout the States, the North would not have it, they wanted to free the slaves but not by putting in them "my back town".

The Northerners never really cared about the black man or what happened to him after he was free, they considered the slave, the South's mess and the South should clean up it's own mess, but not by placing them in the North.

So the question is whose pot is really blackest, racially speaking, the North who helped financing the buying of slaves or the South by employing such a method of farming.
