"followers of Christ were fighting and sacrificing to save people from slavery worked against the south"

Why did the "followers of Christ" in the north keep their slaves after those in the South were freed? It didn't really have anything to do with following Christ, did it?

Ask those that ran the underground railroad. Ask those in England that worked all their lives to remove the blot of slavery from western civilization. Ask those that housed and fed the slaves that came up from the south. Ask the Pastors who took up collections to support anti-slavery movements and encourage the men to fight for their brothers freedom.

I do not excuse those in the North who violated Gods law in my original comments, I simply point out the fact that many more Christians were praying for the freedom of the slaves and the victory of the North. All other issues that the South may have had were concealed in their Governmental embrace of slavery.

I believe God choose sides because the South refused to immediately and unconditionally free all slaves. If they had done so all other issues would have been valid and history different.
