Slavery became a non issue for the Union as of February, 1861....in their own words.

I can tell that this is horribly important - to you at least - but when you use the all-encompassing generic “they” you are being inaccurate. I have no doubt that for some people this was true, but not for most and certainly not for all.

Thanks for sharing.
