Less than .001% of the South owned any slaves.
This was another WAR started by the 1% (in THIS case .001%) that was paid for with the blood of the 99%.
I don't know anybody who wants to fight for the privilege of a RICH person to own a slave.
THAT exists only in your rather creative imagination.
Like ALL WARS, The Civil War was fought about MONEY,
and those who had to fight it didn't have any.
You can get of your self-righteous High Horse.
After "winning" the Civil War to "Free the Slaves",
the Army of The North turned WEST and waged a horrendous WAR of Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing against the Native Americans.
Any Moral High Ground that might have been claimed for "Freeing the Black Man" was surrendered by waging a War of Genocide against "The Red Man".
This Ethnic Cleansing of The American West to make it "safe" for White Settlers was so successful that the native Americans have never recovered.
Cheers!
