[Verginius Rufus]

Tocqueville in the 1830s thought that the prejudice against blacks was stronger in the areas where slavery had been abolished than where it still continued.

There were two "loyal" slave states at the end of the war which were not covered by the Emancipation Proclamation and had not taken steps to abolish slavery, but the ratification of the 13th amendment in December 1865 officially ended slavery there too. Whether slaveholders in Kentucky and Delaware were actually able to get their slaves to do any work for them in the interval between April and December 1865 is another question, since it was obvious that the institution was on its way out.

You missed both my point. By the North having Two Slave States during and after the Civil War/War Between the States, it totally invalidates the argument that the war was about freeing slaves and proves that the North are hypocrites.
