As a genealogist I did a comprehensive study and records search on the early presidents of USC (South Carolina). I posted it on here. Almost ALL of the early school president were slave owners, and outspoken proponents (advocates) of slavery. Some had as many slaves as the list of presidents that I listed above. Many of the early building construction of their campus were built by slaves. There was an informative article online about that. Slavery and racism were so rampant there I don't know if you burned the whole place down it would cleanse the damn place. Yet they are now posting about Clemson's racism and Ben Tillman, and now Thomas Clemson and John C. Calhoun. I don't think any of Clemson's buildings were built by slaves.
Many blacks do not want to understand the whole topic regarding slavery and the Civil War. They just focus on one single part of it. They forget about states rights, they forget that slavery was started up north, they forget that slavery was brought to the colony by the English, and slave traders like the English, French, Spanish, and Dutch. They forget that slave trading was a HUGE business in Africa by the warring tribes who conquered another tribe then sold them to the Europeans. I am not saying any of this was good or justified, or this justified the institution of slavery, because it wasn't and it doesn't. All I know is that the black people have overcome much to be this point in time. Is it perfect? No!!! Does it need to get better? Yes!!! Dismantling capitalism and this democracy for Socialism, Communism, or Fascism is certainly not the answer. And believe me, neither of these listed 'isms are good for minorities. Give me a good example of where Socialism, Communism, or Fascism has been the answer for minorities!!! They are usually the ones who do not benefit, while the social elitists are the ones who benefit.
