Depends on how the word slavery is defined and used, who’s doing the enslaving and why, and who’s writing the narrative about it. For example, the government of the the United States of America condoned the institution of slavery for many decades preceding the CW, and four of the first five Presidents owned slaves.

Total falsehood, it was illegal in many states prior to the Civil War.

Slave and Free States

The South was a white supremacist society, their own speeches confirmed that. Ugly.

Lynchings by state, if this is more than selective outrage per what Lincoln did.

What’s really ugly are people like you who want to shove your views of the world down the throats of everyone else. White supremacy was and is an historical fact whether you like it or not.

You aren't going to like the truth about Abraham Lincoln then. He was too.
