In 1934-36 as part of
the WPA program in the FDR administration about 2200 old former slaves were
interviewed and their stories printed in books called The slave Narratives---one
for each state.
Almost all spoke with
love and affection for their former masters and spoke about how good slavery
times was.
If one reads the
Slave Narratives (available from Amazon book company) virtually all the 2000+
old former slaves interviewed as part of the WPA program in 1934-37 said ---good
food—a place to live--clothes to wear--kind treatment--good times etc. and spoke
with affection for their former masters.
In order to
justify their atrocities during the war--murder, arson, plunder, rape, theft
etc. the Yankees have painted an image of the South/Confederacy as an evil
empire that terribly and constantly abused slaves and "we got what we
deserved". They have repeated these lies so much over the past 185 years since
about 1830 that many of these modern day liberals really and sincerely believe
it.
The faithful
slaves took care of the white women and children while the Southern men were
away in the Confederate army. A monument at Arlington cemetery even depicts a
white Confederate soldier handing his baby to a black slave lady to take care of
while he is away. There were no riots in the South while the white men were
away. Lincoln and the Yankee radicals tried to create riots but it did not
happen. That was why he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation which freed no one.
After the war many slaves stayed on with their “white family” on the plantation
or farm where they had been raised and cared for. Some that did leave were later
quoted as saying they regretted leaving.
I remember
hearing of a 30s recording of an ex slave saying " Slavery days shore wuz good
days, we had a place to stay, food to eat and clothes to wear, now we ain't got
nuthin"
