I've lived in all of the various categories but I can't help where the army put me....unfortunately.

I am however originally from a free state and went back after my military service.

 

[RoryN]

Myself: former "free" states my whole life, with visits to former "slave" states.

 

[KingOrfeo]

I live in Tampa, Florida, which is to the south of most of Texas.

I thought you lived in a state which was invaded and conquered by military force.

 

[ramrod32784]

formerly north now south

 

[Lord Emu]

North all my life.

 

[O-dad's Medium]

I was violently ill in Tennessee once.

Graceland can do that to you.

 

[Adre]

North now, South soon.

South of MDL

I live in an originally free state of the Spanish. They had indentured servitude for 5-7 years to pay for the trip over and then you were free. The natives and blacks were considered freemen. Well, as long as you didn't need their land but then they were enemies and killed not enslaved. However, if the natives or blacks were willing to move (i.e. flee the land) they were freemen. Then the British took over and we became a slave state.

I checked all 3. Grew up in a former slave state, moved to a free state, lived in a former slave territory, back to free, currently love in a former slave state.
Plus my ancestors owned slaves, on my mother's side of the family.

Who the hell cares? This crap was 150 years ago.

 

[Ham Murabi]

Wow. This thread has taken on a life of its own.

 

[Beco]

I live in a slave state.....I mean, arent we all slaves?

Only in the world-view of a hard-Libertarian asstard.

Seriously, why does this matter? Slave states aren't slave states anymore. They haven't been since Lincoln drove the vampires out.

 

[sigh]

Looks like Nebraska got screwed once they finally got around to carving out the plains states.

The OP is reaching back in time so he can somehow accuse anyone living in a former slave state of being predjudiced.

Btw, the Lincoln-vampire-slayer thing was suppose to be secret. Ask the Secret Service.

Then who leaked the film footage that they made the movie out of?

As to the OP,
I'm east of the Harbor Fwy.... what demographic does that put me into?

No idea. I have not seen it. Maybe a pissed off agent that got caught up in a Columbia sex scandal?

Is this a race baiting question of some sort ?

Good Morning, tactful. Thanks for the laugh.

Oh, jeepers! Ya think?

Good Morning, tactful. Thanks for the laugh.

And a good Morning to you, HB1965,
Hot as always, weather, cooler.

It's probably more like the pro-slavery juices of those buried in the slave States leached into the ground, so that any produce grown there contains elements of those juices and is absorbed into the systems of those who consume them, insidiously affecting their ideas about slavery.

I guess he doesn't know that Florida exports orange juice as far away as California.
