Yes... and the North demanded that the racist traitors in the South remain as part of their empire. Just a fact.
So you are saying that there was No slaves in the North?
Only slaves in the South?
I think you will find All states unless they, at the time, passed their own anti slavery bill, did in fact traffic and own slaves.
Next you shall be saying that it was the Republicans that created the KKK. (cough)
Do you have any of the facts you state are “just a fact”
