[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just like today it was the top 1% rich elites that profited from slavery that made the laws. Same with pushing the south to get involved in the Civil War. It wasn’t the average southern Joe on the street that pushed for war. To condemn the entire south for the Civil War is just wrong.[/quote] True! For example, in many places, the "average southern Joe" was an enslaved person.[/quote] Weird thing to joke about. [/quote] Who's joking? The Census population of South Carolina in 1860 was 703,708 people. Using the Census categories, the breakdown was Total whites: 291,300 Total free colored: 9,914 Total slaves: 402,406 Total Indians: 88 57% of people in South Carolina in 1860 were enslaved. The average person in South Carolina in 1860 was an enslaved person. [/quote]
