Slavery remained in the Deep South by other names - in prison programs with charges over nothing and eternal debt that threatened every African-American in the South right up through World War II. And that was after killing three-quarters of a million people, destroying cities, and creating hostility that exists to this day over the the Confederate flag and the racism it symbolizes, all brewing out of bitterness over a war that didn't have to happen.

[When asked if $250 would be a joke, and whether Eve Arden, who starred alongside Ballard herself, were making enough]: Yes! We were all supposed to get a two-hundred-fifty-dollar raise the second year, and suddenly Proctor & Gamble wouldn't do it. So Desi said, 'Either you do it, or the show doesn't go on.' And all this when we were still in the top ten! What was so funny was that Eve and I were telling him, 'No! We want to do it!' It's fascinating the difference [in salaries] today. Eve and I didn't make that much money. Eve Arden who was a big star then, made six-thousand a week, and I made two. When you compare that today to one or two million dollars an episode!! It's crazy!
