And your reply demonstrates that the point I made totally went over your head. Those with better comprehension skills understood that I was saying that most Southerners AND Northerners believed “...slaves weren’t men or people..” The poster was trying to establish some kind of Northern moral superiority...but obviously was too ignorant of history to understand that slavery existed in both North and South and that it existed under the Union flag before AND after it existed in the Confederacy. The poster’s preceding sentence that you refer to makes no difference to that fact nor does it have any relevance to my point...as already stated to you. Sorry for you, your comments are now twice as illogical and irrelevant.

More like ESP or mind reading because nowhere in your comments do you even begin to intimate this thought.

It must me nice to think to yourself that you were trying to make this point.

Either way, there was still a big enough group, the Abolitionists in the NORTH, that believed slavery was evil and should be outlawed that had enough of a moral argument to pursuade their leaders to their cause as opposed to the SOUTH which didn't. Therein lies a moral superiority of the NORTH in general, regarding slavery.
