yk9001 4,999 Posted February 9 7 hours ago, Adam said: The market would have had an effect but the morality surrounding slavery was already changing What in the absolute F*ck? There are Southerners today wearing Maga hats who's grandpappy's grandpappy didn't own slaves but would own slaves today just to put those uppity blacks in their place. There are places in Southern California where blacks couldn't buy homes until the 1970s. Blacks were getting lynched regularly in the 20th century. But you think that there was some sort of morality wave in the 1800's in the South that was going to eradicate slavery? That is the most asinine thing I've ever read on this board. And I read a lot of stuff from Lifetime. 1 Taylor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin 2,126 Posted February 9 You can’t put northerners and southerners into nice little generalizations. Way too complex. For the North you had plenty of abolitionists who detested slavery and wanted full civil rights for blacks. Other northerners against slavery for a variety of reasons whether moral or economic but didn’t care at all for citizenship and civil rights for blacks(we see this when blacks begin to move north after the war) And those that didn’t care but were motivated to fight for the union being kept in tact. Majority of southern soldiers didn’t own slaves but felt it was a way of life that should be protected. Southern politicians and large plantation owners used this people to defend the institution. Some others fought because they literally thought they were being invaded by an unjust foreign nation the way the north was different from them economically and when it came to diversity. Again I think Lincoln knew that slavery would die out and was unwilling to touch it but the south felt they and the north couldn’t be reconciled and had to withdraw from the union. Unfortunately I think it is naive that slavery would have ended without any bloodshed. John Brown’s raid and Bleeding Kansas showed how both sides were willing to murder over the issue. Hell there was tension politically for decades (Missouri Compromise, Mexican War, Kansas Nebraska Act, Dred Scott, etc). Articles of secession by five states from the confederacy show they felt reconciliation was all but gone. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declaration-causes-seceding-states Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yk9001 4,999 Posted February 10 This Northam guy presents a conundrum for all the angelswin guys who most certainly, definitely DIDNT vote for Trump. On the one hand, he's a member of the libtard party. On the other hand, he very very much represents their viewpoints. Here, he says that they weren't slaves, they were indentured servants.
