Like I said, I don't continue to hold slavery against Southerners, if I still did I might as well just hate all Americans for what was done to the Natives. But we're not talking about my feelings on Southerners, we're talking about whether or not slavery was or was not racist, or worth "demonizing."

Hmmm, sounds like I need to explain this. Or, wait...

Slavery was the worst thing that ever happened to America, next to the intentional liquidation and genocide of Native Americans. And the after-effects of both tragedies had devastating consequences that still plague their populations today. Please, don't try to pretend it wasn't about race, because it was. That's all it was ever about.

As you can see, I completely agree with you. But you need to stop making personal attacks on other members.
