Only SOME of those men were Slavers and almost ALL of them detested the system and expected it to wither away. NONE defended it as did the Slavers of 1860 who transformed that detestation into a defense that it was an absolute good.

The Rulers of the South in 1860 weren't fit to wash the underwear of the Southerners of 1787.

"Only SOME of those (Union)men were Slavers..."

Your gall in speaking for other men, and countries, does not alter the facts you so desperately refuse to face:

1) The Union was heavily invested in, and enjoying the profits from, slavery before the Confederacy even existed.
2) The Union kept slaves after those in the Confederacy were freed.
3) The Union has deeper roots in slavery than did the Confederacy.

Your sophistry & dancing betrays the shame you so frantically scamper around.

"weren't fit to wash the underwear"

What is it with you & men's underwear analogies?
