VP Beast Butler?

Congratulations, Tom, you passed my quiz on emancipation vs. manumission. In Maryland, citizens had to file manumission papers for the slaves that were emancipated. Isaac Surratt came home from the war in time to assist Anna with that part of the
mess that had been dropped in her lap. They also acquired an administrator to take care of other difficult estate matters.

I'm not sure that I would use "Dixie paranoia" to explain decades of incidents such as Nat Turner's Rebellion and other lesser insurrections that had plagued the South. I can understand the frustration and anger from one side, but also feel the fear of death or poverty on the other. I suspect that I would have the same feelings upon hearing of Nat Turner or John Brown as I feel now when I turn on the news and see the continuation of Ferguson and other areas. How do we make it stop before it gets totally out of control?
