Non slave owners were most of the soldiers who fought for the CSA. Along with tens of thousands of black men, in completely integrated units - unlike the Federal units that did not permit black men to fight with them.

Do you honestly believe that?

You are welcome to your history (sic). We will keep ours.

To paraphrase Daniel Patrick Moynihan, you are entitled to your own history, but you are not entitled to your own facts.

you are not entitled to your own facts.

Nice you brought that up. So, why did Lincoln only "free slaves" in the territories where Federal troops did not have control? Why specifically exclude, by name, those places where he could have but did not free slaves? Have you even read the so called "Emancipation Proclamation"?

While you are at it, why is a fact, and how can it be Constitutional to imprison the entire legislature of Maryland without trail, and lock them up (ironically) in Ft McHenry? "Rockets red glare" sure must have meant something different to the Maryland lawmakers.
