They killed 750,000 people and brought massive suffering to everyone who was not connected to the Northeastern corruption cartel. And then they didn't even take care of the slaves, but left that mess to fester for the next century.

Frederick Douglas didn't see it that way, and he was a slave in the South who escaped. Oh, that's right. According to you in the confederacy amen corner, he was the bad guy because he broke the law.

They didn't care about the slaves, they only cared about the money.

Right. Abolitionists put their lives on the line to free slaves, but they did it for their own benefit. And, they were breaking the law.

No he didn't. What he did was illegal from a constitutional standpoint. He broke the law when he did what he did.

So did the German resistance during WWII. Who are considered the heroes now?

About your map, China uses slave labor for their manufacturing too.

Stop. The people getting the benefit of keeping the Southern money streaming into their pockets did none of the actual fighting. They paid $300.00 and some poor schlub took their place in combat.

And the poor schlubs didn't give a rat's @$$ about slavery. They were fighting because they had to. Yeah, there was the occasional crackpot all filled with zeal to go free the slaves despite the fact they all hated black people, but most normal people weren't fighting slavery. They marched right through slave holding Maryland to go fight the people who had the gall to tell Washington DC to go f### itself because they weren't funneling any more money into it's corrupt pockets.

The war was about rich northern people remaining rich northern people because the rich southern people would be prevented from trading directly with Europe and thereby depriving the rich northern people of both markets in the south and midwest as well as the rich northern people gloming onto the income stream produced by Southern exports.

And then the rich northern people told all the idiots in the Country they were fighting for some noble bullsh*t about freeing slaves. These were the very same people that offered the Corwin Amendment permanent slavery to the nation.

Let me show you a map that might give you a clue how things really work.

Brought to you by the same liberals that run the country today, and ran it for the same reasons back in 1860. They don't care about slavery, they care about money.
