Keith, I never said and am not saying that the North was righteous or blessed. Far from it. I only wanted to point out that the South was not “blessed” — that is what you called the culture that had a system of cruelty. No place but heaven is blessed, although New England would be if there were such a place. Alas, there is not. I just wanted you to admit that the evils in the South disqualified it from being considered blessed. Now that we have that established, I do hope that you can forget the past and press on toward the higher calling you have received — the one other than eating grits and greens. If I didn’t know better I would think that you were like those Israelites who desired the leeks and cukes of Egypt over the promised land. They were reserved for destruction and perished in the wilderness . . . Take heed son of the Confederacy.
