Cool Documentary: Black People Getting Richer & Number of Poor Whites Increasing

  1. BTW. What is often overlooked is that the civil war wasn't even originally about slavery. That came out much later in the war. The war was about high taxation on plantations which made owners go broke so they got more desperate.

    If the excessive high taxation hadn't happened then Jim Crow's Laws likely would not have even been considered or very quickly shot down in Congress as the white and (some Black) slave owners would not have been desperate to keep themselves from declaring bankruptcy and losing their farms.
