The question arises of how long background count is likely to last. I cant
see any but the worst sites of slavery and oppression retaining a BGC for as
long as you ae describing. In Awakenings they describe the Polish Death
Camps as places of sadness and suffering. Major League difference in
intensity of opression and much more recent. Although racism is likely to
linger in people hearts I would say that the process of reconciliation and
truth will have saved the South by the 2050s.

What submission are we discussing BTW? Are someone gonna do an article on
the South? If so, please cover Atlanta in more detail than the NA Guide to
North America did. That would be HIGHLY appreciated as I am GM'ing a group
there.
