No, I'm not terribly interested in these "stories."  Everyone who has or 
*might have* a drop of African blood is always tracing their roots back to 
some "evil" plantation owner.

And just about every other American is now claiming they are part Cherokee.

Do folks ever stop to think just how many slaves there would have to be "in 
the South" and just how many Cherokee there would have to be, none of which 
would have had time to work btw, inorder to produce these literally MILLIONS 
of folks who can all trace their roots back to either a Cherokee princess, 
and yes, it is always a Cherokee princess, which btw way is an Indian term 
for "hang around the fort" Indian (whore) or to a Southern Plantation.

Does anyone ever do the math on how few *big* plantations there were?

Please note it is never a Northern factory owner or Northern plantation 
(yes, they had them too) OR, heaven forbid, some sharecropper who had one 
slave. Oh no, that just wouldn't do!
