PS I do not blame you guys for slavery alone as all of the colonies was guilty on that, especially the New England shipping companies up until the slave trade was banned when the nation was founded. However I do blame the South for the foot dragging on ending slavery until the 2nd half of the 19th Century.

Well I hope you find comfort in that. I guess Cuba, Brasil, Arabia, and Central Africa are on your shite list as well for the same reason since they took even longer and some even still practice it today. If I'm not mistaken, the last slaves technically freed where in border states allied with the Union....some time after the Emancipation....with typical Yankee hypocrisy.
