No that is not the problem. The problem is we let the Royalists do that to us, and then pass it on to the Fregengi, all blown out of proportion. See what I mean. I was born and raised in the Deep S. Those are are common table foods for all.
There is no connotation that I've heard. That is all the Racist North. The war was not won, up there. That was not the war.
The North won the right to keep their racism without the Consent Decrees on their States. The USA is racist only in the original 13 Colonies, down the coast to Georgia, as a matter of fact.
But, here you pass it to an International Forum as if it were fact. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
Don't pass on the Royalist pap. Don't be part of the problem, yourself.
Let us have some proportion shall we? Population might give us a clue.

So, the North won the War, but the South killed Lincoln and nutted the VP, also with threats. So the race problem was created, not solved. The Civil was was not about race only about States Rights. And many slaves even by 1860. And as many free of it as were positioned as slaves.
Now only 13% of population and only 8% of families owned slaves. This never was a Slaver country. The horror was the South decided to secede over it for some reason. I guess they thought France would be sure to back 2 countries. They forgot I guess about the standing French - English war.
We won that war. But the politics of race were created then, not before. But, today what is the population? Still 13%.

Black or African American alone, percent, 2012 (a) 13.1%
More population growth under slavery. A fact.
