Miss Penny I agree with you when you talk about segregation, alcholic drinks and drugs (to some extent)...all personal choice. Slavery and abortion however involve your choice and someone else's hide. Outside of the Civil War and in more modern days, I am probably more conservative than most of your fellow southerners on this board. Does sending a white kid go to a black school, make the whole school smarter, I really don't think so. I believe a man can want to see another not enslaved, yet still not want to send him to school, support his family for life or marry his sister...just my view. Be that as it may and the fact that I have a splliting headach (personal choice, there) I'll post this site for you to read. Think you may like it and especialy the article written today. To keep this on track Penny, I'll say that one of the feature writers a Mr. Wall had an ancestor in the Mexican War, fighting in the same battle as Jeff Davis. Adieu.
PS...I do think you will like todays article, but maybe not.
