Bill,

I really hope that flyer is a fake. I would find anyone that says those 
things about slavery as being demented and they do not realize the level of pain 
and hurt they cause those families that are survivors of slavery. That is all 
inaccurate. Slaves were whipped, beaten, and even killed. Families were torn 
apart never to see their mothers, brothers, and sisters again. You cannot see 
that kind of pain. Nor can you see the pain of being denied the right to read and 
learn and not having basic freedom. It is also inaccurate that their were not 
riots and attempts of slaves to escape. There are many stories of slaves 
rising up. Many slaves attempted to leave their masters. Others, most, did not 
because they could not escape without some of their children and wives and/or did 
not have the means to escape. Most slaves that tried to escape were punished 
harshly, even having their feet chopped off. And let us not forget that they 
wiped the hell out of the Confederate Army. The North did not do a good job of 
winning the war until former slaves were incorporated. It is also no 
coincidence that slaves forced to fight for the South didn't work out to well.
If this flyer is truly what is written in the book, it is sheer hurtful 
racist garbage that should be exposed for trash that it is.
