[When do we get liberated?]

Actually they are taught that the civil war was fought for the same reasons all wars are fought. Greedy rich white people. 300,000 dead union soldiers were just greedy. The fact that all the states on one side were free and all the states on the other side were slave. That was a coincidence.

please tell me you are joking. Also, please tell me how you came by this information.
If this is true, I will cry for public education. Again.

The fact that all the states on one side were free and all the states on the other side were slave. That was a coincidence.

At the start of the war at least 4 of the eventual Union states, six if you count NJ (something like 100 quasi-slaves) and WV, had legal slavery.

By the end of the war all had emancipated their slaves without compensation except KY and DE (less than 200 by that point).

There is, BTW, a large and vocal group on FR who agree with the above statement. The war, they believe, had nothing to do with slavery and its disproportionate presence in the two regions was purely coincidental. They are, of course, full of cr*p.
