[QUOTE="trappersteve, post: 1200955, member: 20918"] Ok this is my take on slavery, my 5th greatgrandaddy was the first to own slaves in my part of the state. He was a captain in the confederate Army along with his brother also a captain. He and his brother were awarded land before the civil war basically all of what's now grayson county va. Yes they owned slaves but from What I read in the old family documents the slaves were almost treated like family and always had plenty of food and a nicer house than I live in today. According to the records even after the civil war after they were considered free they didn't want to leave because they didn't know anything else and were happy where they were. Slavery wasnt as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. [/QUOTE]
