And what would I learn? That they were scholars; that they could add, subtract, read, write; or had the same opportunities as white people? If I offended you, or anybody for that matter, by calling them ignorant - I apologize. I only said (wrote) that because I knew they did not receive any kind of educations whatsoever. They did not go to school in the South before 1861. They had a difficult time getting a proper education after the war was over and got their freedom. |
