you're projecting your own feelings on to others......you're obviously a racist...
Says the guy who displays a flag that represents the side that fought for slavery as an advertisement of his beliefs in his avatar.
the south wasn't fighting to keep slavery any more than the north was fighting to free them...you must watch a lot of television
One of the reasons, even admitted by the most ardent Confederate adherents was the states right to determine the states right to slavery. Hence, those fighting under that flag were fighting for the states right to slavery.
the north yammered for years about it so the issue was in the forefront at the time...and the cotton states did mention it in their secessions...but more as a way to thumb their noses at the north...
the war of northern aggression was neither fought to free slaves nor retain slavery.
If the north were fighting to free the slaves why didn't lincoln "emancipate" them on the first day?
Why did he not free the slaves in the northern states that still held them?
Why did he not "free" them in the border states? Why didn't his illegal "proclamation" include the slaves in new orleans?
you need to read some history and turn off the tv...
