That was the dilemma Gen Lee faced? They had housing, were fed. What would
they do if they were suddenly free? Would would South do without farm workers? Many Blacks owned slaves. to leave butI have a friend in Frenchmans Bayou Ark who owns 3,000 acres of bottomland on Mississippi River. He has six families of Blacks working for him. He provides free housing, salary, free health care, turkeys at holidays, school for children. They are free to leave but don't. Why? Are they slaves?
