So this is what Union soldiers fought for in the Civil War

[Scamp]

So far, the gist of this thread from yankee sympathyzers is this...
It was an outrage for the Confederacy to have slavery for 4 years.
It was OK for the USA to have slavery for 89 years.

You forgot to mention one other thing.

You got caught in a lie.

What is this lie that you have now mentioned at least 4 times? And repeating yourself is a sure sign of dementia

The Union didn't fight to end slavery.


Cotton was an extremely valuable product for New York’s merchants: Before the Civil War, cotton represented 40 percent of all the goods shipped out of the city’s port. And long after the slave trade was made illegal in 1808, the city’s illicit slave market thrived.

When the war broke out in 1861, there was even talk of New York seceding from the Union itself, so entwined were the city’s business interests with the Confederate States.

The New York Draft Riots of 1863 were a violent uprising against a strict military draft during the Civil War. Blacks were a frequent target of the violence.

Kansas-Nebraska Act

Proposed by Stephen A. Douglas–Abraham Lincoln’s opponent in the influential Lincoln-Douglas debates–the bill overturned the Missouri Compromise’s use of latitude as the boundary between slave and free territory. The conflicts that arose between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers in the aftermath of the act’s passage led to the period of violence known as Bleeding Kansas, and helped pave the way for the American Civil War (1861-65).

The Union didnt start the war, but the Union couldnt allow the Southern White and Black Democrats to not only keep their blacks slaves but not allow it into the expansion of the new territories. This is history not being taught in the public education system because it doesnt fit the Progs agenda..

Lincoln had no plans to interfere with slavery where it existed but he did intend to keep it out of the new states being formed. We have no agenda but we have books. Read some.

Doesn't really matter what you or I think about Lincoln's intentions. What matters is what the South thought about his intentions at the time.

Southern conservatives were slave-owning scum in 1860.

Southern conservatives are slave-owning defenders in 2020. And still scum.

Over 300,000 Union soldiers fought and died for this. Lincoln even said so halfway throught the war. Are Union soldiers rolling over in their graves? Or spinning? Are the yankee sympathyzers proud of what they created?

To me, they will only roll over and spin if nothing is done in return after a law has been broken.

God bless you always!!!
