White slavery

[blackhawknj]

On March 21 Confederate VP Alexander Stephens made the "Cornerstone Speech" in which he declared subordination-slavery-to be the "natural condition of the Negro."
There is a letter sent by Sherman to Stanton during the Atlanta Campaign where he said;
"I am no friend of the Negro, but the government's emancipation policies have raised us up a whole host of allies."

I give someone credit for raising that speech. Ask some Southerners whether they explicitly reject the attitudes expressed therein and you'll get a surprisingly complicated answer. It goes along with LBJ's observation to a young Bill Moyers about the "lowest white man".
