Completely? No.

But my question was regarding the freedom of the slaves.

Well, the victors *do* get to write history, so that is why Lincoln is worshipped, instead of the better man, Lee.

The real irony is that while all Americans applaud the "freeing of the slaves" after the Civil War; most Americans live in slavery today. A different form, but still slavery, similar to how Huxley put it:

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude”.
