Oh, well then, since lincoln's SO-CALLED "EP" never freed a single slave in the north & only had "force of law" in the southland, how many slaves did it free in yankee-occupied areas of dixie until at least Jan 1,1863???

the answer is NONE, especially since the US Army was still SELLING slaves on the New Orleans auction block nearly a YEAR later. (the sold slaves were mostly sent to the Carribean, to die in the sugarcane fields. MG Benjamin "THE BEAST" Butler & his friends in the Union Army GOT RICH from selling slaves. but then, you DO know that "inconvienient fact", don't you???)

Liar. Prove it. Show one piece of documentation that proves Butler was selling slaves to the Caribbean in 1864. And don't pull that Watie standby, "When I was a graduate student I saw a letter that the liberal academic damnyankee establishment doesn't let anyone see." If that was the truth, DiLorenzo and his ilk would be all over it.

Galveston U-Boat?
