popped up on mine a few days ago too. The comments make out like he is a terrible person. I guess I'm a bad person because I didn't see what was so terrible about him. I'm sure he could've done things different, but seemed like he was decent person and the people that worked for him weren't miserable.
The youtube channel of the guy that posted it is interesting too. I will watch more from him.

been a loooong time since I read "Rising Tide," but iirc, in the book the slavery issue was brought up well before the Civil War, there was a feeling among the land owners/cotton barons, that slavery couldn't and shouldn't last, the dichotomy was that labor was sorely needed to sustain the cotton industry but it wasn't right and the laborers did deserve to make a lving in their own right, wasn't a main subject of the book because the book was more about the flood but I do recall that being mentioned, ain't interested enough to reread to check it out

That skip row cotton in 1968 looked as good as some of the cotton crops I see today up and down the Red River.

Good dirt.
Ol Baws were working on a propane cultivator.

So fatigued. Don’t give a shite. Crap was over 50 years ago. 50 years of handouts and help up. Culture still stuck in the gutter and hasn’t risen an inch.

They just like to leave out the fact that there were about twice as many white sharecroppers/tenant farmers as black ones in 1940's Mississippi.

Love that old school Mississippi accent. That’s how my grandfather spoke too. Crazy how our dialects/accents change through the generations.
The only people that still sound like that are 75+.

I think you could make a strong argument that the culture has gotten far worse.

I don’t see how anyone could say it hasn’t.

I was in Minnesota a few years ago and brought up to the waitress lady I was from Mississippi. "really? I can't tell you have a southern accent at all"
Probably the worst insult I've ever gotten.
Irl anyway.

I always have th exact opposite experience when I’m up north. I never bring it up, but it’s quite common whomever I’m speaking with will say something like “I’ll bet you’re from Alabama or Mississippi.”
I think one reason my Southern accent is so pronounced is that (1) I grew up in rural north Alabama and (2) I was raised by my grandmother and surrounded by great-aunts and uncles who were all born around 1910-1920 in the same rural Alabama community.

That’s surprising. Around other Mississippians I don’t have a thick accent really but anyone outside the Deep South has said I have a very distinct southern accent. Especially my upper Midwest customers I deal with.
Those Minnesotans and Wisconsin folk are really nice, good people but their accent is horrific

My mother was raised in MN till college. My father raised southern miss. Those powers combined cancelled each other out I guess. My maternal grandparents spoke just like the people from Fargo.
"OH yaaaaaa?"
"Pin-eer" for pretty near
