In Georgia in 1860, over 43% of the population were slaves. Your 10% slaveowners and 90% war victims math apparently doesn't consider blacks to be people.
Thank you for the fact check. That was a fallacy of the excluded middle. The middle 43% (some of whom might have also been victims?). Nice twist though.

Was anything else a misstatement? It was 150 years ago, and people feel like it's still happening today. Which it is, just not in the country celebrating today. It's worst in China and Africa.

Here's a picture of when hippies were peaceable:
