Slavery existed in 1776 and as it did in 1861. ''Americas Original Sin'' It didn't take war to end it the North.

Actually slavery in the north did not end until after the war and after it ended in the South...thanks to the EmancProc that only applied to Confed states.

Certainly the sins of slavery were not original to the US. The northern states which forbade slavery (beginning with Vermont) led the world. Britain, belatedly declared slavery illegal in 1833, and Wilburforce played a key role in removing theological justifications.
