Don't forget the Irish Immigrants that were treated as badly as the Slaves and Native Americans. Mistreatment of any group is mistreatment of all groups.
Remember the Signs that said 'Irish need not apply'

J. South,
If there were massacred at the Crater, that would indeed be significant. I
don't suppose you consider it significant that a majority of Washington's
troops in the early battles were black freemen and slaves? It makes you feel
better to think it was mostly white farmers who fought for your freedom from
England. But, I for one, want to hear the whole story, not the white-washed
version for the namby-pambies.
PC aside, let the truth be told.
Anne
