Grant and Sherman are two of the greatest patriots in US history.

The Democrat rebellion was waged to keep a handful of aristicratic landowners from getting their hands dirty farming their own land. They ignited a civil war for this purpose. They lost.

Aristocratic Democrats are still scumbags and traitors today.

Sherman's boss was a confused fellow.

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality… I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied every thing. “

Now see, here you've told me something I didn't know. They had four score and seven years worth of legal slavery in the United States, but for some reason they had to start a war to keep that same legal slavery in the United States operating as it had been for those four score and seven years.

Silly me. I just thought that if they did nothing, slavery would continue to be legal in the United States of America.

In fact, Lincoln was urging the congress to pass the Corwin amendment to further protect slavery.

Something doesn't add up here. Was slavery staying in a peaceful Union or was it suddenly disappearing for no apparent reason that we can see?

The aristocratic landowners of Maryland (a Union state) kept their slaves working all through the war. They didn't get their hands dirty farming their own land, and for some reason there was no Union army trying to stop them.
