Where are our paybacks? Oh, and not to mention the tens of thousands of white folk that gave their lives during the Civil War for their freedom.

We have all been taught this, but an examination of the facts reveal that nobody invaded the South to free the slaves. They invaded the South to "Preserve the Union." 18 months after the war had began is when they started talking about freeing slaves, but only those slaves in the states held to be in "rebellion."

There was no talk of freeing the slaves in the five slave states that remained loyal to the Union.

The war was not began to free slaves. It was began to stop the Southern states from becoming independent of Washington D.C.

That is simply not true.

The North fought to preserve the Union and won. The South went to war to preserve slavery and lost everything. Don’t you ever get tired of being an idiot?
