And it was the South that went to war to keep slavery alive.

And who were these Yankee's selling the slaves to?

As for ripping children out of the hands of their mothers, it was the South who had slavery written into their Constitution as a permanent right, naming the Negro specifically.

To hear you guys tell the story, it was the South that was against slavery!
