So if I had been Chinese prior to the civil war (yes, I still would be afterwards) I would not be able to comment on slavery as I was neither black nor white and would not be in a position to own slaves or be owned as one. (before I get jumped on for anti-asian bigotry or some other such ****-****, let me say that Chinese was chosen randomly. They, and other minorities, were also discriminated against at this time and would rarely be in a position to own slaves for economic reasons.) rick
