“Um... that would have been the Union (fighting against slavery).”
That is an interesting comment. For the sake of this post, let’s stipulate you are correct: the Union “fought to free the slaves.”
Can you tell me why the Union slave state of Delaware sent soldiers to Florida to “free the slaves” when they could have more easily sent soldiers to fight the Union state of Maryland and free their slaves?
Or, more to the point, why didn’t the Union slave state of Delaware fight and kill the slave owners in Delaware and “free the slaves” in their own state?
Slavery ended in Delaware in 1865. Did it not end every where by that time? Hmmm?
And please, don’t give me that tired argument about four indentured slaves in NJ being held after the war.
I point this out all the time. They have a cognitive dissonance every time this is pointed out.
