States Rights for South

            Slavery provided a purpose for the blacks that is righteous and good. Providing housing, food, and work for the poor and uneducated Africans brought into the United States. It also affords the needed help with the plantation owners with their farming and picking of their crops. Without this help from the southerners the blacks would have no food, housing, or work for them and their families. If it were not for the farmers the blacks would have no other place to go and they would never be able to find a job that would pay them well enough for them to feed and house their families. .
             Another benefit that affected the slaves would be that when they got their freedom they had learned the language and the culture of the white man. As a result they would be able to interact with people much more professional. Being a slave at one point was a good learning experience for these people. They have nothing else to do or to go. You may say that we are being the unethical ones but truthfully you are the blind and unmoral people for taking all these people out of a job and not only a job but a home too. It seems as if you are speaking for all of the black community and u seem to be playing gods role we should let them decide for them to see what they would want.
             After what I have appointed to you now you can see why States Rights are not to be the ones unmoral. To cut a long story short States Rights is a great thing in our new way of life and you need to be able to appreciate this.
