Say it again, the northerners held onto their slaves longer than the southerners.
Gen Lee freed his slaves which his family had inherited in 1862. Gen Sherman didn’t free his slaves which he purchased until after the Civil War, remarking that “Good help was so hard to find”.
The Union declared the emancipation of slaves from the south, but didn’t mandate the freedom of slaves in the north.
Who taught you history? Some Yankee liberal who insists all southerners were uneducated bigots? Sorry, that’s the liberal socialist line.
Then let me say it again, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Gen Lee freed his slaves which his family had inherited in 1862. Gen Sherman didn’t free his slaves which he purchased until after the Civil War, remarking that “Good help was so hard to find”.
And interesting tale with but one problem. William Sherman never owned a single slave in his life.
The Union declared the emancipation of slaves from the south, but didn’t mandate the freedom of slaves in the north.
Constitutionally they couldn't. But the constitutionality of an act has never been big on the Southron list of priorities.
Who taught you history? Some Yankee liberal who insists all southerners were uneducated bigots? Sorry, that’s the liberal socialist line.
Considering the nonsense you've been spouting it's evident that nobody has been able to teach you anything about history, much less the truth of it.
