Jerks in History

[J. Beckert]

If your statistics are correct Rob, then 90% of the slave population was all black, which shoots a big hole in the statement that slaves were routinely kept as concubines. You're also turning the present topic of Sumner's caning into a diatribe against the Southerners going to war to "protect slavery" when the more important issue was states rights. I in no means mean this as an insult, but it seems your liberal views don't jive with things when viewed in a historical context.
