And Sherman ended the matter, and treason was squashed.

Eighty plus years before The War Between the States the United Colonies committed the exact sort of treason against England.   I am sure you wish that rebellion had ended the same way for fear of being a hypocrite.

Lest you balk and try to equivocate about that, had we stayed as British Colonies, slavery would have been "abolished peacefully" twenty five years before the Emancipation Proclamation during our bloody Civil War.

Don't try to deny that Northern States became wealthy on the slave trade or by exporting the products of slave labor in the Southern States.
