Why Were The Radical Republicans Radical?

[Liz Rosenthal]

Slavery certainly was,"A Peculiar Insitution".I have always learned that the "South"was the "Gentile"section of America,then and now!

I think you mean "genteel."

"Gentile" means "non-Jewish."

Of course, in general, the South was and is mostly non-Jewish, as is just about every other place in the U.S. But the South has always been more non-Jewish than the North.
