“Are you saying that blacks did not own slaves themselves?”

How on earth did you get that from a post that documented how succession and the Civil War was in fact about slavery?

golly wogs and wart hogs, I learned that in school pre 1950. But your many posts are really hard to follow, somewhere it fits into what you post LOL

I guess when slavery is mentioned, many factets of it get written about... /But did you know blacks held slaves and some white indentured servents never got out of their indentured position due to corrupt owners...

If for some reason(miracle) Jeff Davis pulled a fast one on the Lanky Yankee and AGREED to the emancipation proclamation, freed all the slaves in the “states currently in rebellion” (I really like that part), do you think the North would have granted the South’s wishes for independence? Also, do you think the South would have givin up the “cause”? My contention is nothing would have changed except the Southern Army would have been a hell of a lot bigger.
