> Do you think west virginians were less racist than the rest of virginians? Or do you think it was economic? It was economic in the sense that slavery was not central to West Virginia's economy, but was central to not-West Virginia's economy. A map makes this pretty apparent[0]. The argument isn't that the was was about racism, but about slavery. Those are often related, but aren't precisely the same. [0]: https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3881e.cw1047000/ |
