I was discussing the Confederate Monuments issue with some high school students yesterday. As a student of US History I was appalled that I rolled out an incorrect percentage of slave ownership in the South. The referenced article is a must read if you plan to join the debate or just want to be informed.
BTW- Slavery was THE Cause of the Southern States' secessions . (Read their Articles of Secession of each state if you don't believe me)
Just passing this along. On to HS Football.
