Delaware, too. Yes, Yooden, the whole slavery thing is much more complicated that Federalist historians like to admit. Slaves were freed LAST OF ALL in the non-seceding Union states. --MichaelTinkler |

Slaves were freed LAST OF ALL in the non-seceding Union states. --MichaelTinkler The war is also known in the South as the War Between the States or (now half-humorously) as The War of Northern Aggression. Ummm.. no one of my mother's generation (born in 1940) would consider that as even half humourously. Many people in the deep south (Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, etc.) believe completely that it was a war of Northern Agression. Generally, the closer their families lived to the land desecrated by General Sherman, the deeper it is believed. I've only heard it mentioned as a humorous name by people whose forefathers didn't have to live through the after effects of the war. (Though honestly, I expect this is true of most wars) |
