Why don't you learn from the past and don't make the same mistake in the present and future, or don't and repeat history.
Blacks were not the only slaves here in America and even blacks owned slaves during that time and if you disagree then look it up and enjoy learning the truth. Also Slaves were sold by conquering Tribes in Africa to slave traders and a lot of the Slave traders dealt with Moors in certain regions.
Now I know this goes against your train of thought only Whites enslaved the Black and Native American race but if you really look at history and the history of slavery you will realize the entire human race has been guilty of the practice and not just whites or Conservative men.
Lincoln was not out to free the Slaves when he became President and had actually defended slave owners in the past, so this notion the GOP was the one that freed the slaves is cute because if you really dig into the real reason it was to punish the South for it insurrection and to take away it free labor force which made it an Economic reason and less about the right of freedom of the Slave.
Again I know that does not suit your Trotsky point of view because in your mind Lincoln wanted a war with the Southern Confederate States while all the long all he wanted was to abolish slavery over a period of time but because the Confederate Southern States were against the idea of losing their free labor force and the Federal Government telling new possible States and territories they could not have slaves caused them to react the way they did and then Lincoln had no choice but to punish them for their betrayal against the Union.
Now you will deny the reality that Slavery in America was more than African Slaves and then deny the reality that Lincoln was a defender of Slave owners when he was younger, and then deny the reality that Tribes in Africa sold other tribes into slavery just because you want to blame White America for your pathetic excuse of a life.
Now go read history and not the one where only whites are racist and the plague of the world!
Oh, Slavery is still alive today and practice amongst Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Whites right here in the States and if you deny that then you know nothing at all!
I agree with what you said about the reasons for the Civil War and Lincoln's motives. It wasn't about freeing the slaves, at least not from the government's perspective. The slavery issue, which DID actually matter to a lot of people, worked really well to recruit young cannon fodder, though, so the government used it.
I haven't heard OP blaming his pathetic excuse of a life on anyone. I haven't heard he's got a pathetic excuse of a life.
The cultural segregation of the races isn't over. That's all. OP is still pushing because the job isn't done. That's really evident in just about every thread here.
