Quote from: "Odinson"Did the slaves actually quit working for the masters after slavery was abolished?



I dont think they just left the plantation and went running into the woods yelling "Meessa free!"





I bet most of them kept living like they always have... Still working for the same massa..


The way I understand it, the "freed" slaves that went North, were met with more hostility than they did in the South. So they either kept going towards Canada, or went back down South, realizing they were treated better down South. A lot of Southern slaves were actually treated fairly well.

Goes to show, we were'nt about to bend over and be "forced" back into the corruptness. We made a stand against the aggressors. The South will rise again!

Heres an accident that occurred in your state:

Maybe I'll just drive lol. I've never taken a train. We only recently got the Amtrak here in town a year or two ago.

I agree. Some slaves were treated by their white slave owners as part of the family and they had no contempt for one another. It was a way of life for the owners to have help and for the help to receive income. They did not know any other skill at the time. It is the same with our relationship with our helpers too in the Philippines. Our nanny, cook, housekeeper, laundry woman become part of the family that some of them actually stay with the family for a lifetime. We did not keep them shackled to a post in our house. They were free to find other opportunities but this is what they chose to do.

My refuge back there is in the vicinity of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
