Slavery was still legal in the City of Washington DC at that time, also, wasn’t it?

Yep. Revisionist history says it was a war to free the slaves. It was no such thing. If it was, somebody should have told Grant that he was breaking the law by owning slaves. This was not a problem for Lee. The war was fought to preserve Lincoln’s relevancy. He caused the split so he felt he needed to repair it. Funny how he went about it. An entire generation slaughtered.
