Please note: this is the same person who started the "Racism in America" thread, which states that the problems the US has with racism would disappear if the races, specifically black and white, were separated. I'm assuming, therefore, that this has to do with the history of chattel slavery in the U.S; my guess would be that we are supposed to find the grandson is not a saint, is merely a man doing the right thing, albeit delayed, and since he waited until after his father was dead to do the freeing, he took the easy way out, and thus isn't such a great guy.
I'm guessing the "answer" is that the grandson is Abraham Lincoln, and this is a veiled criticism of his policy of enforced unity under one federal government. But perhaps I'm reading too much into this.

Anti_drama 21, the grandson is not a saint; he took advantage of the slaves until it was no longer convenient for him, so his freeing of them is not impressive. Go ahead, dude, tell us the rest.
