North CArolina was a poor state and not many people could afford slaves, and as was mentioned before not everyone was mean to slaves, I do a lot of research on slavery because I am a tour guide at a NC Plantation so I have to know what I am talking about. There are six books out for all sounthern states on slavery and these book are written just like the slaves are telling their stories. some were well treated and of course some were not. The main thing they were slaves and this should never have been.TWCTM@aol.com wrote: >I know that is a lot info from everyone on this subject.  South Carolina had >the right to succeed from constitution.  There was only about 2 percent who >were wealthier enought to buy slaves .  I know Mr. Lincoln gave in life the in >Fords Theater.  Where did all the other soldiers, south and north die?  Not all >slave owners abused their slaves.  I know this debate will go one for several >more years.  Just understand everyone had their own idea of what they were >taught about this war.  My Maternal Grandfather joined the southern army, was >shot 5 times.
