YEE HAW!
If you were a slave in Civil War America, you got free quicker if you were in the South. Lincoln couldn’t do squat about the North until the Constitution was amended.
Sorry, libs. Confederate history HAPPENED.
Just like black history, Hispanic history, Asian-American history and all the rest.
If you were Black in Civil War America and lived in the North most likely you were already free.
If you lived in the South chances are you weren't and it would take a war to give you your freedom.
