Boeing’s new home: South Carolina

(comments based on Dahl and other sources) Boeing’s move to the union free state, South Carolina, needs to be placed in perspective of this state, the state that twice tried and once succeeded in creating a civil war. 

Hitler in this century would have approved of South Carolinian genetic atrocities from the 1600s.  Not only did the African the slave trade make South Carolina the wealthiest of the thirteen colonies, South Carolina went further, breeding the aggressive Africans with the peaceful Cherokee to create a better slave.

Like the Nazis, the Übermenchen of South Carolina had to demonstrate the inferiority of injuns and niggers. The white folks feared that their slaves might learn to read. After the Stono Rebellion occurred in 1740, laws were put into place to mandated that black children wouldn’t be allowed schooling. This heritage persist …. in the Twentieth Century, where South Carolina had the highest proportion of illiterates.

Southern hatred did not stop with Black and Red folks.  The Scottish Rite, created at Shepherd’s Tavern in Charleston. led the anti-Catholic, anti-immigration movement that revived the KKK. In 1928  59 United States Senators and 317 members of the House of  Representatives were 33 degree members of the Scottish Rite. Later, the  club fought integration and the Civil Rights movement. Jewish sense of well-being was challenged by the Klan’s anti Semitism. however, in the heyday of Jim Crow,  Jews could pass for white and walked the safe side of the racial divide. They demonstrated their loyalty to country and region in patriotic parades and party politics.

Of course God was on the side of the white folks.  The Southern Baptist Church believed in their biblical scripture.
