There were zero white women raped. Is this not a demonstration of racial prejudice?
Sure. You want to show me anybody anywhere who claimed that Union soldiers were all non-racists? Most of them were by present standards highly racist. Does anybody claim otherwise?
But the result of their fighting was to free these slaves. Also a fact. As opposed to the results if their opponents had won, which would have been to keep them as slaves.
So we’ve got Team A, racist but anti-slavery, versus Team B, racist and pro-slavery.
What exactly is your point?
Here’s what the racist Lincoln had to say about the rights of black people.
“I have never said anything to the contrary, but I hold that notwithstanding all this, there is no reason in the world why the negro is not entitled to all the natural rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I hold that he is as much entitled to these as the white man. I agree with Judge Douglas he is not my equal in many respects-—certainly not in color, perhaps not in moral or intellectual endowment. But in the right to eat the bread, without leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns, he is my equal and the equal of Judge Douglas, and the equal of every living man.”
That’s certainly racist by today’s standards, but surely you can see that it’s a world away from Alexander Stephens remarks a few years later.
“Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition.”
Both are racist, but they’re quite obviously different, too.
