History of African Americans in the Civil War
"These words spoken by Frederick Douglass moved many African Americans to enlist in the Union Army and fight for their freedom. With President Abraham Lincoln's issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the Civil War became a war to save the union and to abolish slavery.
![]() Approximately 180,000 African Americans comprising 163 units served in the Union Army during the Civil War, and many more African Americans served in the Union Navy. Both free African-Americans and runaway slaves joined the fight." |
If the confederate insurrectionists had been able to fully destroy the United States of America, slavery would not only have continued in the South, but would have expanded in all geographical directions.
RIDICULE is all you have to look forward to from most FReepers.

Your vitriolic rhetoric is boring and predictable. You care nothing about engaging in meaningful dialog but instead, prefer shrill retorts and hateful name calling.
Yet, you find it puzzling that Southerners continue, to this day, to prefer not to associate with yankees and desire to see them leave the Southland and take their hatefulness and lies with them.
You are entirely and pathetically too dumb to waste time on.
How do you convince an ox that he's not and ox and that he's not yoked to a wagon of revisionism, political correctness and lies?
