In the North, the blacks were and are mistreated on a daily basis.
Yeah, it's just a shame those damned Yankees passed those Jim Crow laws.

As I stated, in the South, we left them alone, and they left us alone (live and let live). Jim Crow was just the legalization of that philosophy.

In the North they HATED blacks, and mistreated them HORRIBLY (and still do). That is why the blacks almost always riot in the North and later West.

You mean like the Black Codes of Lincoln’s home state of Illinois that you evidently know nothing about?
