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.
"I believe God choose sides because the South refused to immediately and unconditionally free all slaves."
The North did likewise - how was this the determining factor?
"God choose sides because the South refused to immediately and unconditionally free all slaves" And so did the North. You kept your slaves after all in the South were free. Why?
The type of slaver you were is wrong. Claiming your kind of slavery was right, and even Godly, is blasphemous.
You have a surprising amount of shame to throw on the South, again exempting the North. Such denial requires active rationalization. But, then again; you do seem passionate on this topic.
Perhaps if you had been the first to reject slavery as immoral. But no... not even the second, or third. From where do you get this moral superiority? When did you first realize that, in the eyes of God, you were better than any from the South?
