The Winemaker

A friend once told me that the Emancipation Proclamation was written by a person with blinders on. I asked why he thought that. His answer was, the author of the document left out the part that excluded the Native Americans and the black people. Negro men and red men both fought side by side with their white counterparts in the American Revolution and the bloody Civil War. More Americans, black and white, died in the Civil War than any other war in American history. "All men are created equal except the black man and the red man" is the way my friend said it should have been written for "good ole" Honest Abe. The "Winemaker" is what became of some of history's survivors.
