Slavery lasted 8 months longer in the Union than it did in the Confederacy.

Not quite. Slavery ended in Tennessee the same time it ended in the remaining parts of the country where it existed, in December 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified.

I picked this factoid up quite a while ago. Delaware refused to ratify the 13th Amendment in 1865, and did not ratify it until 1901.

Delaware. Joe Biden’s home state.

Another pointless nitpick that ignores the fact the Union kept slavery going until long after the war was over.
