When you talk about freedom, you seem to be forgetting the sizeable percentage of the CSA's population that had as much freedom as livestock.

But the Northern savior said IT wasn't about slavery...

If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.

But the Northern savior said IT wasn't about slavery...

I wasa responding to the other poster's claim that that South was fighting for freedom, which is a laughable claim given that about a third of the CSA's population was in bondage. And let's not forget what the CSA's government did to Unionists in east Tennessee and the hill country of North Carolina for opposing the slave empire.

What freedom, exactly, was the South fighting for?

But the Northern savior said IT wasn't about slavery...

From the Northern point of view it wasn't about slavery. But from the Southern point of view it was.
