Cotton and Tobacco occurred in what 4 states? 5?

No, cotton and tobacco were and are planted and picked in many states....northern as well as southern. Slaves were kept to handle industrial scale cotton and tobacco in most, if not all, of the Southern states.

The irony is rich...as it always is with Leftists...this fool is protesting in FAVOR of the Democrat plantation.

Hitler liked both approaches so much, he modeled his brown shirts and the slaughter of the Jews after both.

It's been a long time since I've read "Mein Kampf" but I believe Hitler was more "inspired" by the way the Brits treated the Boers in South Africa than the way Democrats treated minorities in America.

That's where the term "concentration camps" began.

Who built the railways and the other transportation infrastructure?
Was Texas (or anywhere west of there) producing cotton/tob?

How many states of the 57 produced cotton or tobacco?

[RedMonqey]

"Cotton and Tobacco occurred in what 4 states? 5?”

Every state in rebellion(11) produced both as did non-rebelling states as Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky

Indians?

The poor wittle attention ho. Nobody is paying attention to his goatsmellin’ ass. He needs to shout “look at me” a little louder. Maybe if he pulls one of Lebron James’ used jock straps down over his head...

He sounds like one is just another NFL illiterate bastard! , to Americans, who love their country.

"The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes like this ignoratant POS are mistaken for people of importance.

“But there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and sub literate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)”

Maybe you aren't as important as you think you are.

The same people who are supposed to cover him are also the one swith billion dollar contracts with the NFL. Depending on the exact terms of the contract those networks may be the ones entirely on the hook for the losses - the amount paid to the NFL may be unchangeable while the money coming in depends on viewership. More protests = fewer viewers = less money. Thus only good news on the NFL will be permitted by the networks and NFL.
