Long Island, New York circa 1600,1700,1800 had slaves... especially on Lloyd Estates, even in Nassau County. In fact, where I live is built over a huge estate, Ingraham Estates that owned slaves. Anyone with education will know that the North also had slaves. Frankly, I think the Civil War or War of North Aggression was God's punishment for the evil treatment of slaves anyway (not slavery itself but EVIL, BAD treatment, people not adhering to christian virtue and following the principles of the book of Philemon. After reading many threads on the War, I am beginning to think there were a lot of reasons this war was fought and slavery wasn't the only issue. It was a LOSE-LOSE situation whether it was fought or not. No major slave holding society has ever lasted because you can't build an economy on human chattel, they will rebel eventually. My personal view is that if the Civil War was never fought slavery would have ended ANYWAY in the South, and maybe we'd even be more intergrated and less touchy about race.

I respect the men (and their women who supported them) who fought on both sides. But since I always have to be different and strange, I'd probably wear a confederate cap to see Gods and Generals. I hope my rambling makes sense to everyone.

Thank you New York. So do I. It was one heck of a war. One that should not have been persued.
