I know very well that Lincoln was not 'The Great Emancipator' that
history has made him out to be...and I also know that the Emancipation
Proclamation was made to keep ENGLAND from entering the war on the side
of the Confederacy, NOT France and Spain...France and Spain had no overt
interest in the war, while England was extremely dependent on the cotton
imported from the American South...

So the only thing you can state with any authority is what you observed
as a very young child who was a member of a race which had more
privileges than those of the black race, processed thru a child's
perspective, and limited to a very specific (and not normal) era,
and a small geographical area which was not necessarily indicative of the
South as a whole...
