George, I have no problem discussing the "betterment" of the slaves, if you wish to. It is far removed from the idea of arming them for the South to secure Southern Independence however. If you wish to make it a topic, go ahead, and present a subject to the forum up on top.

LOL and then after we've gone around with each for a couple weeks getting reprimanded by some and supported by others, James will ask if this is now the Bettement Of The Negro Board.
