I wish the war hadn't been necessary. It tore families apart, destroyed so many lives and livlihoods. However, I feel slavery is wrong; unGodly and uncivilized, against our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The South did not want to free their slaves ... and the rest is history.
Didn't Lee say he'd have freed every last slave if it meant avoiding the war? Might have been an internet lie, not sure, feels like it's true.
Honestly I don't know a ton but in my head next to the holocaust you've got the lock ness monster and the Civil War being about slavery.
The posts (here, here) attribute to Lincoln the words: “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it” and to Lee the quote: “There is a terrible war coming and these young men who have never seen war cannot wait for it to happen, but I can tell you, I wish that I owned every slave in the south, for I would free them all to avoid this war.”
True, but in my opinion it shouldn't lead to war. See how ungrateful the negro is still? It was an unnecessary war.
I see how ungrateful niggers are, but not all blacks are niggers. The blacks that embraced the American Dream, worked hard, kept their nose clean, treated others with respect, decency and compassion ... that is how we had hoped they would all turn out. I blame Democrats and jews for creating the environment that created niggers. The black community has gone backwards over the past 80 years in about every Democrat controlled city. Now they are trying to do the same with Whites.
