The Touchy Subject of Black Confederate Soldiers

[JoeB131]

Most Northern states had the good sense to abolish slavery--yes, via gradual emancipation--in the 1820s and 1830s. There were few slaves in the Northern states by 1850. Though technically a Northern state, Maryland was really a border state--yet, even then, the state's voters voted to abolish slavery in 1864. There were zero Northern leaders who claimed slavery was a positive good, yet many prominent Southern leaders made this absurd claim.

Hey, Mikey, would this be a bad time to point out that serial pervert Brigham Young tried to bring Utah into the Union as a slave state?
