Do you deny that many unionists owned slaves or that slaves built the capital dome during the war too?

I have no doubt that there were Unionist slave owners in Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri. Grant's in-laws were two of them. As for the capitol dome, whether slaves worked on that is unknown. There is no evidence that they did and no evidence that they did not. Link

Nice try at obfuscation but as usual, you fail.

Pointing out yet another example of your false claims and bald-faced lies is not "obfuscation". It's looking like a full-time career.

The US Congress commissioned a study in 2005 that concluded that they did....though yes the exact records are spotty. They certainly were used to build much of the rest of Washington DC and Lincoln was in no hurry to free them.

Pointing out your BS and lies takes up a considerable amount of time. Fortunately, I enjoy it so I’ll just keep right on doing it.
