Bull. That's what you WANT to believe, to justify your racism.
Try talking to the BLACKS who lived in the South at that time (as I
have), and see if they were oh so content as you would like to believe...
I have a black friend who grew up down south, having to watch the local
KKK'rs walk by her house -- in full regalia -- going to and from their
meetings...and being made to smile and wave to them...I can tell you, SHE
and her family were NOT content, but knew what they had to do to keep
from being lynched and their house burned down...
There's a reason they moved up North...because the South didn't provide
them the opportunities in employment the North did, because of their
race...

I'm sure blacks were given equal opportunity to plant & clear fields --
for someone else. How many blacks OWNED this property they worked on...?
How many blacks were allowed to take over important office and factory
jobs, supervisory and managerial positions, when the 'able bodied men'
(black men WEREN'T 'able bodied'?) were away at war?
