"If you really believe your above then you live under a rock and the only only one who believes it are strawmen like you."

This makes abolutely no sense.

"I did not read anyplace in T.R.s post where he said anything about first sources."

T.R. said "How is the south the total blame for slavery in the United States..." T.R. states this as though the south IS totally blamed for slavery in the United States. Who has said this? Where is this taught? My textbooks in the mid-seventies and my nieces' and nephews' now teach that slavery was present in all of the colonies; nowhere do they claim that the south was "totally" to blame for slavery in the U.S.

I have yet to see an original source stating that the south is totally to blame for slavery in the United States. Do you know of one?
