The good new for the Grays is that the "winners" have to be at fault for the decrepit condition of the group that were unshackled from the oppression of the Lost Cause.
Who you gonna blame but the winners?

The perpetually butt-hurt radical returns. What a shock.

Bury Me In Southern Ground
This song always get my Southern juices flowing!
"Please give your word this vow you'll keep,
when I return to earth to sleep
Let me dream forever under Southern land
With a Dixie flag tied in my hand."

We only owned 60 or so slaves on our Mississippi plantation but they loved us and didn't even run oft after Juneteenth.
Their children were assigned for life to my grandmother and her siblings. Nice people.
According to reports, we only had 1 or 2 that regularly needed re-directing. But I guess there are bad apples in every batch.
Life and times were different back then. Me personally, I've never owned any slaves nor had the desire to. I imagine it's about as fun as being a Burger King manager.

Damn near half the Households in Missisppi & S.C. alone owned slaves
I am certain the figure for Mississippi is wrong. Slaves were very expensive and the average Southerner could not afford slaves. Most of the slaves in MS were in the Delta working on large plantations. In addition to being poor, families that lived in the hills that comprise most of MS didn't need slaves. The only land that could be farmed was bottom land, and the family could farm that by themselves.

The unacknowledged hypocrisy from these people is outstanding

The Confederate States were one of the most honorable separatist movements to ever exist. They could have forced the Union to quit the fight and their citizens to lose the taste for war if they went to guerrilla warfare and terrorist attacks in the north on a widespread scale but they had too much pride and honor to do that and they fought the North straight up like men.
