Thanks. I had none of this information just a few years ago. I have only recently realized what actually happened in the Civil War, and I have only done so because I kept reading about so many things regarding it which didn't make any sense.
I wounder subsequently if the Americas would have had the will or power to execute the revolution and decouple from England without the wealth that slavery provided the North and the South?
I very greatly doubt they would have had either the will or the means to leave England without the wealth and power they had obtained through slavery and slave trading.
And yet we have quasi slavery today. It is interesting how a race can be convinced to serve the same masters' heritage and not see that they have been hoodwinked. The liberal servitude to free, free, free everything, and the destruction of the family have continued as this quasi slavery. This is where slavery resides.
Hopefully there will be an awakening.
