The Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves in the North. Why do you twist up what I posted? I did later state in another post that the 13th Amendment did end slavery in the North. It is simple to find once you get past all the revised history.

Likewise it would have been simple for you to confirm that Lincoln and the Congress did end slavery in the District of Columbia well before the Emancipation Proclamation and well before the 13th Amendment. You astonishment at that fact was noted. And from a strictly legal standpoint, the 13th Amendment ended slavery in the south, too. The Emancipation Proclamation declared all those held in slavery to be free, it did not outlaw slavery itself since constitutionally Lincoln lacked the power to do so. But the Confiscation Acts, which had been upheld by the Supreme Court, provided the legal cover to free those slaves held by those supporting the rebellion.

The point is that the North was as guilty, if not more so, than the South when it came to th slave issue. When they couldn't make any more money off of the slaves and it threatened free white males lively hood (jobs) along with the acquisition of land, they didn't want westward expansion for slave holders.

You can place any spin you want on the reasons for people like Lincoln opposing any expansion of slavery. The fact was that they did oppose it, believing that slavery would die out on its own if confined to those areas where it was already legal. You can claim that it was solely for the reason of securing jobs for white folk, which I guess must mean that the southern supporters of slavery expansion were opposed to jobs for white folk. Regardless, the southerners were for slavery's expansion at any cost. Including rebellion.

This led to the War of Northern Aggression. Thank goodness for the Information Age, because the PC history writers have tried to cover up the whole truth for years. Slavery was wrong then and it is wrong now, but this one-sided fabrication that has caused the castigation of the South is over with; therefore, it is time for the whole truth to come out and expose the North for their continued involvement in the heinous act of slavery.

So I guess that you are admitting that the War of Southern Rebellion was to protect the expansion of slavery? Keep talking like that and they're going to drum you right out of the Southron Myth Propogation Society.
