The states of the Deep South, which fought Brown tooth and nail, today all fall in the bottom quartile of state rankings for educational attainment, per capita income, and quality of health.139 Prince Edward County, in particular, bears the scars of a place that saw fit to fight the Civil War right into the middle of the twentieth century. Certainly it is no accident that, in 2013, despite a knowledge-based, technology-driven global economy, the number one occupation in the county seat of Farmville was “cook and food preparation worker.” Nor is it any accident that in 2013, while 9.9 percent of white households in the county made less than ten thousand dollars in annual income, fully 32.9 percent of black households fell below that threshold.140 The insistence on destroying Brown, and thus the viability of America’s schools and the quality of education children receive regardless of where they live, has resulted in “the economic equivalent of a permanent national recession” for wide swaths of the American public.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Carol Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/carol-anderson/african-americans-weren-t-the-only-ones-who-took-a-hit-the-states-of/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/813/carol-anderson-34250_african-american_african-americans-weren-t-the-only-ones_1013747.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/813/carol-anderson-34250_african-american_african-americans-weren-t-the-only-ones_1013747.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/813/carol-anderson-34250_african-american_african-americans-weren-t-the-only-ones_1013747.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“African Americans weren’t the only ones who took a hit.

The North fought to hold the Union together, while the South fought, according to 'The American Way', 'for the preservation of their rights and the freedom to decide for themselves'. Nobody fought to preserve racial slavery; nobody fought to end it. As one result, unlike the Nazi swastika, which lies disgraced, even in the North whites still proudly display the stars and bars of the Confederacy on den walls, license plates, t-shirts, and high school logos. Even some (white) Northerners vaguely regret the defeat of the 'lost cause'. It is as if racism against blacks could be remembered with nostalgia.
