A fistful of baloney. Have a look at the laws and acts leading up to the American Civil War and quit spreading that nonsense.

Plumberman is correct, it is you who is full of baloney.

Explain why it took so long for The President to declare that slaves were free men? I think it wasn’t until the last year of the war. Doesn’t sound like he was fighting to free them until then. From a Northern point of view it was about money.
