Believe it or not, there were those within the Confederate high command who were opposed to the concept---some even coming from families active in the Southern abolitionist movement. Some Southern intellectuals saw little difference in the substitution of slavery for wage servitude---in light of the emerging sweatshops of the industrial Northeast one might find disputing the argument difficult. Needless to say, the simplistic North/South historical reductionism eludes true understanding, with misunderstanding further complicated by the current revisionism of both those in the North and the South.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7018073541417646773.post-71347503785665439632017-01-19T17:21:47.202-05:002017-01-19T17:21:47.202-05:00As much as that may violate your sensibilities, Sa...As much as that may violate your sensibilities, Sam, it is not entirely an untrue assertion. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
