The acceptance of slavery was unfortunately necessary so Southern states so it could be ratified. And while the North didn't go to war to end slavery per se, the South certainly went to war to preserve it. Where are you from? Were your ancestors Confederates? Did any of them own slaves? My ancestor fought for The Army of The Potomac.

“And while the North didn't go to war to end slavery per se . . .”

If that is true, then we can forever dismiss the notion that Lincoln and the North “fought to free the slaves.” And why should they?

It was slave, and erstwhile slave states such as New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Maryland that voted to enshrine slavery into the U.S. constitution in the beginning.

Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia also voted for slavery. A four-thirteenths apportionment of responsibility must always be cast in that direction.
