according to THE LIBERATOR in 1865 there were more slaves in the north than there had been in 1860. therefore you damnyankees were hardly "ramping down the number of slaves" in YOUR states.

BTW, General Benjamin Butler of the damnyankee army was SELLING captured slaves on the New Orleans slave block in 1863! MOST of the slaves sold were either free men & women OR CSA soldiers, who had been captured. 1/5 of the sale price went to the auctioneer (a union colonel-this is why auctioneers are called colonel today!), 1/5 to Gen Butler and the other 3/5 to the damnyankee army.

face it #3, the damnyankees were ALWAYS hypocrytes and scum. nothing more nothing less.

I assume that you have some evidence of this? As well as the claim that there were more slaves up north in 1865 than there were in 1860.

If that were true, it would be because they were taking advantage of the war to escape that fine Southern Hospitality.

As I've said a hundred times, the South seceded for slavery, the North fought to preserve the Union.

That excuses all of the immorality of the South?

Apparently God-sanctioned, they did win, the result of which got rid of your filthy lucre cash cow of slavery. They fought to preserve the union. I'm sure that there weren't many that fought to abolish slavery. It doesn't matter now. That proves that Lincoln and the Radical Republicans were indeed very special people. They alone led the fight to get rid of slavery in this country. Thank God for Lincoln and the Radical Republicans. They didn't listen to people like you from the North or the South who say slavery was OK because it was legal or that we were doing the slaves favor by giving them room and board. The Slavocrats said they fought for Constitutional freedom, who's the hypocritical scum?
