God! Here is the propaganda again. The UNITED STATES was a country based on slavery.
When the Declaration of Independence was signed, all the states were slave states. By 1889, when the US Constitution was ratified, the vast majority of the states were still slave states.
Slavery was legal in the Northern states all through the War, and it lasted six months longer in the Union states than it did in the Confederacy.
Lincoln urged passage of the "Corwin Amendment" that would have made it permanent.
No effort to pass a constitutional amendment to abolish slavery was ever put forth, and had one been put forth, it would have failed to pass.
The US Constitution explicitly protects slavery in Article IV, Section II.
The Civil War was two slave nations fighting over money. It wasn't any noble cause, it was down right dirty greed and power behind that war.
Utter bullcrap. Slavery existed in much of the colonies at our nation's inception but slavery was NOT foundational.
Please explain to your rapt audience how Slavery would have been made permanent by the Corwin Ammendment.
Oddly, if you read the amendment, congress didn’t explicitly outlaw slavery.
