It’s crazy how my algorithm is working. Alabama.disgrace has a similar conversation going on her page. I posted this over there but once again it’s hitting topic and showing where today’s problems stem from. I’m reading a book on James Longstreet and here is a quote from him in 1874. I apologize for its length, but it is exactly the problem. “Men can't all think alike, and the trouble with the Southern people always has been that they won't tolerate any difference of opinion. If god almighty had intended all men to to think just alike, he might just as well have made but one man…My opinion is that the only tru solution for Southern troubles is for the people to accept cordially and in good faith all the results of the war, including the reconstruction measures, the acts of congress, negro suffrage, etc, and live up to them like men. If they would do this, and encourage Northern immigration, and treat all men fairly, whites and blacks, the troubles would soon be over, and in less than five years, the South would be in the enjoyment of greater prosperity than ever.”
