Ask anybody who has lived years in the north and years in the south and they will tell you, the north is far, Far, FAR more racist. Typical leftists accusing others of being what they are.
Ya apparently northern states wanted to outlaw slavery simply because it gave them a good reason to keep blacks out. When they said they were anti slavery they meant they were anti black. Union army had segregated units based on color. Confederate forces had integrated units where blacks fought with whites and were guaranteed freedom in return for service. 4 million black slaves and 5 million whites in the south at the beginning of the war. If there wasnt some sort of kinship or bond the slaves could have easily taken the south for their own. They didnt. They fought with the confederacy for THEIR country. Their collective country. NYC has been slandering the South before the revolutionary war.
The northerners were also jealous of the South's plantation system as they believed it gave the southerners an advantage. All they had up north were dingy factories and horrendous working conditions and they couldn't compete.
They were certainly jealous of the wealth. The Southern economy was the 4th largest in the world. A lot of big companies out of NYC owned plantations and were usually the worst treating of slaves. Avg pay in The South for workers including slaves was higher than that of the workers in the north. Pretty incredible information to learn when your entire education youre told the north went to war to end slavery in the south....
Husband was a history major at USC (the old, original one.) He learned while reading the original documents there in Columbia that yes, we’ve been lied to about the War of Northern Aggression. The truth is there in the many preserved documents.
