But it's true, isn't it? That's what we were taught in school, anyway... ;-) But seriously, your argument has some merit, Bob. There were actually slaves in Canada back before confederation, certainly in parts of what's now Ontario and Nova Scotia. Of course it wasn't institutionalized to the extent that it was in the American South, but it was still here. We need to keep in mind that 1/2 the US fought ~against~ slavery in the Civil War (I know it's not quite that simple, but still...). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
