Nobody got along better than black and white in the south. This is another myth propagandized by the Marxists. White rulers and black laborers. In a sense, this was the only positive about Lincoln's war because everybody in the south was poor on account of it. Black and white worked together on the farms and shared a mutual respect and admiration for each other. There was no white ruling class in the south for generations because nobody both black and white had any money. Nobody starved because there was always plenty of food but nobody was wealthy and shared poverty together.
It was only when trouble making progressives up north came in then tore the races apart with their ever growing strategy of divide and conquer as they do with all Americans and have been doing it for years.
