W.T. Sherman described an incident before the battle:
"About 9 o'clock I was well down to the [Bull Run] River -- with some skirmishers and observed two [Confederate] men on horseback ride along a hill, descend, cross the stream and ride out toward us." One Rebel waved his gun over his head, making himself conspicuous, and loudly shouted: "You D___d abolitionists, come on."
Seems like slavery was on the mind of that Confederate cavalryman that day.
- not the Morrill Tariff
- not bounties for "fishing smacks"
- not "money flows from Europe"
- not "northeastern power brokers"
- not even "states' rights"
Of course, nobody'd yet told that Confederate cavalryman that it wasn't politically correct to call Yankee's
"d___d abolitionists" -- it took a few years for everybody to get that memo.
