The planters should have exclaimed “Let’s Pick Our Own Cotton!”...
...agreed, but it would’ve made more sense for them to have actually dig into their pockets and paid someone to pick the cotton for them,instead of importing hordes of Stone Age tribespeople just for the cheap labor...the inevitable emancipation then loosed the entirely unprepared and ignorant culture into the civilization at large...such a debt of gratitude we owe those cotton planters...
Excellent points, Irish!
