There were slaves all through the north too...

No doubt slaves were walking down the street too, but that's not the point here. Rather, we are discussing the stupidity of a Liberal who is unaware that slavery was prohibited in, among other places, North Dakota, South Dakota, Indiana and Ohio!

In fact, Indiana was filled to the brim with anti-slavery Southerners who'd found it necessary to leave their homes in the Sunny South to avoid being persecuted for their beliefs. The Civil War could not have been won by the Union without Indiana in fact.

So, why is Indiana a "Red State"?

The answer is simple ~ they tended to vote correctly in this election. Illinois, on the other hand, voted incorrectly.
