You claimed that it was just as prevalent in the North as slavery was in the South. So where is your support? What states? How many indentured servants in 1860? How long were their indentures?
My point was that Slavery was not the reason for the Civil War. Slavery existed in all of the original 13 Colonies, and the South was no more guilty than the North. I know the South held more slaves than the North, but does that really make a difference?

Here's a link to some more black Confederates, hope it doesn't ruin your day!
Indentured servants? How about outright slavery in maryland and delaware?? LOL don't let THOSE facts trip you up. Why did the great emancipator refuse to emancipate slaves under his control?
