Slavery, for some, was an economic, and not a moral choice.
Slavery was on it's way out. It wasn't a southern thing to want slavery, it just was a way of life that everyone was accustomed to knowing about.
Few very wealthy plantation owners had slaves, but that awful group was unjustly projected upon all the southern states populations while hypocritically excusing northern slavery of various forms and people.
In public fool skool we are brainwash into believing that northerners were morally superior due to their opposition to slavery, while southerners were all a bunch of jango hatin crackers, white trash crackin' da whip at all the Africans torn from their countries by Americans. Most southerners were just people like most northerners, blacks Chinese or whatever ethnic, demographics. They were trying to take care of their families and had not much to say at all about people like kamalas slave owning ancestors.
Do you think the northern people decided to not where cotton clothing or have cotton mills making textiles?
No, a lot of poor northern women and children worked in sweat shops while their husbands got black lung and cave ins constantly swinging picks in mines owned by very wealthy boss hogs. It was tough for a lot of people.
Lincoln wasn't the icon of courageous morality that the winners writing textbooks lead us to believe. I could write a chapter on his evil deeds .
The political deep state talked Lincoln into making the issue of slavery a selling point to get more commoners to sign up as cannon fodder to be slaughtered by the wealthy banksters who were funding BOTH SIDES of the war. They ALWAYS do this.
They are attempting to do it again.
I'm taking the time to share this, not to be argumentative or get one up Cameron. That was the past and there's nothing that we can change about it.
However, we can learn from it and
decide to teach your children or grandchildren the lessons of history and of wars. Otherwise, the public fool system will direct them to give their precious lives away for the banksters.
