89 pace . Someone tried to relieve me of my generator. And pulled the ac output wires apart. I know 12 volt but ac is scary % $@& . Black to black and white to white I get. I also have a green coming out of the harness and copper in the junction box, grounds? If so where do they ground?

Black is hot, white is neutral, green is ground- usually a device ground, bare copper will be the system ground. The connect points (on newer items) are usually color coded as well. When wiring a receptacle, for example, black goes to the brass, white to the silver, and green or copper (or both) to the green separate screw lug. That connects the system ground to the round ground slot on the receptacle just below the two vertical slots.

Wiring a plug on an appliance like a vacuum cleaner, black goes to the brass, white to the silver, and green to the green separate screw lug. That will connect the ground line from the appliance to the round ground prong on the plug, so when it's plugged in everything lines up properly.

Often, small things like toasters or coffeemakers don't have a separate ground. There is so much plastic in the construction, they are considered self-insulated. Not sure if I like that. Anything designed by humans can screw up.
