NOPE. they did not have to, as the damnyankees were IN CONTROL & the WBTS, from the damnyankee perspective, was ONLY to maintain that political/social/financial control over everyone else.
was it OK (in YOUR mind) for the damnyankees to hold slaves AND at the same time to attack southerners for owning slaves?
doesn't that plainly show what HYPOCRYTES damnyankees WERE/ARE?
