@Babylon

Yes, idiot. Did you know you failed to answer a simple question?
@PetePiper my answer to your question is no. The reason slaves were taken was to cripple the south and we all know the destruction that took place after.

Regardless, my point is that you're conflating democrats of 2021 to democrats of ye old times

@Babylon So they didn't feel guilty. That's what I thought.
@PetePiper you're totally right

Obviously a few people had compassion and felt bad, but the whole slavery thing was done when it was strategic and there was a benefit from it. This world still works that way with new methods of slavery, sadly

Now it's more rich vs poor

@Babylon Well black people really feel good that the treasonus south got punished by ending slavery as a result of their war to preserve slavery.

@Babylon You are another idiot from the small island of inbred idiots with barely a brain stem and bad teeth whose ass we kicked twice to maintain our freedom from the likes of you. You have no business commenting on the matters or politics of the USA. Keep your nose in your own country's affairs.

@Babylon If you really study history and economics of the times, the North industrialists wanted the South to only produce raw cotton for a cheap price and the North make it into fabric and clothing. When the South decided to purchase machinery from England to produce fabrics from their own cotton the North was not happy and prevented the South from getting that equipment. The slave were actually a minor issue but was promoted as a way to attack the South as anti slavery was a popular issue for the Northern snowflakes. After the supposed freeing of the slaves in the South after the Civil War the Northern industries still had slave working in their factories. What people also do not understand that blacks were not the only part of slavery as Chinese and Irish were often used as slaves after the Civil War working in mines and on railroads.
