In Pre-Civil War America (and during Reconstruction), do we have examples/documentation of white and black people being friendly and interacting in positive ways (i.e. hanging out, eating together, doing friend things)? If so, how common was this in both the North and the South?

How do we not get crushed by atmospheric pressure (1atm = 14.695psi) bearing down on our head and shoulders? In addition, why would a blast overpressure of only 4psi above atmospheric pressure destroy most buildings and kill many people?
