It is very important that you realize that I agree that slavery was morally wrong and should have been ended. Where we disagree is to the time table , and the manner in which it was done. I think that 90% of our race problems today are a product of the war, and the harsh treatment the South recieved during Reconstruction. A gradual emancipation would have been better for all concerned, and would have been better than a destructive war.
And how would you have accomplished that?
