The majority of men did not wear wigs by that point. That was a style on the way out along with knee breeches and very wide lapels. More importantly, large numbers of people recognized Africans and Indians as people. What you don't want to admit that even as people they could still be slaves or a problem to be dealth with in any way possible. People do that today except they don't kill them. They just assassinate their character and try to drive them and their opinions into the mud (examples: right wing nuts, tea baggers, racists, homophobes, etc) and then they (yep, I'm talking about progressives) make laws to try to keep them down.
As for as shitting in holes, my grandmother had an outhouse that was in use in the early 1960s. She also had a chamber pot next to her bed. So your claim that most people had in door plumbing in the 1920s is pure bull shit.

Holy underwear Batman!
JDIdiot has rewritten my post, added some if his own fabrications and then used his own hillbilly grandma's shack in the woods as proof that most people didn't have indoor plumbing in the 20s, which is not exactly what I claimed. I said 1920-35 or so, when the Thompson was an item in the Sears catalog. According to the US Census bureau! by 1940 55% of all America had complete indoor plumbing ... Hot and cold running water, bath or shower and toilets. So you see, JDIdiot, you're taking things out of context and filling the holes with your own weak bullshit.

additionally, I had excepted hillbilly grandparents like JDIdiots dear old gramma who, as I predicted, shit in a hole.
JDIdiot, get a fucking grip. Your opinion is your opinion. You almost never even try to corroborate your ravings with citations.
No wonder nobody believes a word you say.
Now go shit in a hole!
