Duly noted, carry on, just a messed up time, both sides had pros-cons (Degree of the state of force for Union, victors enjoy the spoils though).
Slavery was just wrong (Especially British North American/US slave trade), either go contract or living wage to draw demand for labor in the hot temps of South/Caribbean, but to consider a person property of another (Biblical slavery was far different) especially via genetic lineage (Which is extremely un-Biblical) is an abomination. South deserved to get f’ed over.

The fight wasn't about slavery, the fight was about the Northern states losing a huge chunk of money.
Also the Northern states still had slavery and kept it longer than did the Southern states, so spare me the moral outrage about how the Southerners needed to be murdered because they had slavery. So too did the North, and even worse, the North offered the Southern states permanent slavery through a constitutional amendment known as the "Corwin Amendment."
