Pretty ironic that the slaveholding South had a battle cry of “Freedom”.... don’t you think?
Freedom for who?
Welcome to History 101. America was like every other nation in the world at its founding... there was slavery. Blacks owned slaves in the South, as did many Whites... BUT, the VAST majority of Whites did not own a single slave. The Civil War began because the North was determined to impose its will on the South.
Gosh, do I believe slavery is wrong? Yes. Thanks for assuming that it’s 2017.
