I would agree that nobody's hands back then were truly clean. it was southern cotton that fed northern textile mills, and as openly as they denounced slavery in the legislature, northern industrialists were perfectly fine with reaping its material benefits. the federal government has done plenty to show its attitudes on race were no more enlightened than those of the CSA. and some of the worst race riots in American history happened in northern cities like detroit and chicago. no region is free of racism or other prejudices; it's just more or less visible or called other things.
