Some dumb guy on the Internet is saying that it reminds him of a time when he was actually happy. Now, he's obviously racially dogwhistling, but it really occurred to me that I don't really know what life was like for a non-slave, non-rich person back then. Obviously, it was hell on earth for slaves, and probably pretty good for the super rich (just like every other time). Was it better or worse for a free, working class person than the northern states? Better or worse than the US right now?

    Tell that guy to fuck off, if that reminds him of a happier time, he's never been happy. He would have been illiterate and would have died of a stubbed toe getting infected.

    It's the same shit as people wanting to go back to Ancient Rome or whatever. Motherfucker, if you did, you'd immediately be enslaved because you'd look like some weird foreigner and you'd be easy to trick because you'd have no clue what's going on.
