    As polite as Northern industrialists were with their wage-slave workers, esp. the Irish.

            And yet the Irish along with all the other millions of descendants of slaves of all nationalities are NOT crying for reparations. Just the blacks.

                No, we earned our citizenship. We built this country.

                        We'll keep that in mind for the next time someone talks about the impeccable manners of northern industrialists. The topic at hand was the genteel manner in which Lee's army came north. Their interest in not pissing off the locals has already been explained. The South was hoping for a draw and political settlement.
