New Jersey still has slaves as late as 1865 but hey believe what you must, I'll stick with unrevised history. Please refrain yourself from giving me the monolithic view of the slave trade and the South. For the record, I believe Lincoln did what he had to do to keep the Union together but the hypocrisy of the North is profound and well noted.

Good day!

While I don't really care what provokes your concern about Northern "hypocrisy" and your ability to pretend that there wasn't an equal amount in the South it has nothing to do with anything I have said. Nor does your comment trying to make the North equally culpable with the South regarding slavery. It is silly since if that were true there would have been no war.

When you are on the wrong side of history it can be tough trying to defend it.
