He was anything but a horrible person. A lot of his attitudes were from the era in which he grew up, and even those attitudes softened in his later years. Most of his black workers loved him. He was kind gracious and charitable.
This is one last jab from a screaming liberal news rag that despised Mr. Bessinger and anything Confederate. Most of what is printed here is slanted and taken out of context. They found not one kind thing to say, and he was a very kind man. RIP, sir.
