    No. It is just wrong.

    By the way, most people in the South did NOT own slaves. Mostly just very rich planation owners. The vast majority of southerners were very plain (often poor) farmers, shopowners, craftsmen, etc. Most white southerners didn't really support slavery and did not want so many slaves to be brought in - however by the time of the civil war there were so many slaves, that common white people feared what social unrest would be caused when the slaves were freed.

    Like most white southerners I recognize that slavery was one of the saddest episodes in US history.
