I’am not sure what “history” you have been reading , but a few facts you might want to know. Slavery was not a issue in the civil war , it was only a political move by the north to block European support for the Confederacy. Jefferson Davis ( President of the Confederacy) was against slavery and wanted it abolished. ( He had a adopted black son). The war started in 1861 with the north attacking the Confederate States of America. Slavery became a issue in 1863. The Southern goverment offered to free all slaves if the north would leave the South alone.The Southern Congress had already taken steps to abolish slavery. The South had already intergated it's armies(yes folks, black and white served side by side to fight for the freedom of the South). Black officers were leading troops in intergated units in the 1860’s. It would take the north another 100 years to do the same. Every Union General had slaves , No Confederate General had Slaves.( Those southern Generals that owned slaves prior to the war freed them) Jefferson Davis did not own slaves but Abe Lincoln did. ( Northern Historians like to omit the fact that Lincoln's wife owned slaves). As for your belief that the north would buy the slaves, with what money? 75 % of the National budget came from taxes on the South. If you want the truth , follow the Money!!!

I’m sorry, but you are wrong.

The Republican Party campaigned in Lincoln’s first election against slavery.
