If only it were that simple. In reality it boiled down to individuals, regardless of political affiliation, in both the North and South. There were individuals who were pro-slavery, anti-slavery, and those who didn't care either way, in both North and South.

GOPyouth, my apologies for not framing my question in an appropriate manner. You are correct, the democrats have not been held accountable for their past. My point is to the fallacy of all of those in Union states being anti-slavery and all of those in Confederate sates being pro-slavery, which is not reality.
