STFU you stupid shit. Show me one, just one editorial prior to 1861, from a Northern paper, exposing an opposition to slavery.You’re a lying goober.

Protective Tariffs: The Primary Cause of the Civil War
Many Americans do not fully understand the causes of the Civil War.
You must be a stupid ass yankee, that clearly explains your ignorance. Can you explain Kentucky? How about the slaves in New Orleans? Lincoln's proposal to Texas? Hell, the bankers and insurance companies in New York City made more off the backs of slaves than plantation owners ever did. Reparations, when the hell are they going to pay up?
I mean you people don't flippin get it. Almost all the revenue of the US government, prior to the 20th century, came from tariffs. And for the most part, the brunt of those tariffs was placed on the Southern Plantation owner. Have you ever heard of the 16th amendment? When, and maybe more importantly, why was it passed?
Nope, you worthless ass yankees parade around with some pretend moral superiority, when the truth is, you are just as much to blame for slavery as any Southern plantation owner, maybe more so. Until you realize that, well we will continue to be plagued by blacks that think they deserve something. For generations, the federal government, the Northern business establishment, and yes, the gentry of the South, climbed on the backs of the Negro slave. But today, the descendants of those very slaves are more than willing to pile on the backs of those long dead slaves to get them some free money. It is disgusting. It is time they finally fawking manned up. Took responsibility for their actions. Wake up, clean up, stand up.
