Yeah, you're right. At least some Southerners had the decency of lynching their subjects rather than subjecting them to a cruel stoning.
Acting just like a liberal....you toss an insult and gut an entire group of people for what *some* did. Not every southerner was a slave owner, not every southerner supported slavery.
Just like every Yankee didn't support emancipation or going to war over what they saw was a war over slavery.
