Re: Pressing Issues for the Alabama Legislature
That is usually what i hear but let me remind you of one statistic :what % of the population in the south owned slaves?
Somewhere around 5%.What was the average age of the Southern dead at GETTYSBURG around 18-19.NOW TELL me that large % of mostly Poor rual tenagers whent to die for 5% of the RICH population who owned slaves.This war is not as neat and easy to explain by picking out excerpts of what people say and are likely to forget in 10 yrs.
