[quote:Anonymous Coward 20574169:MV8yMDUxOTAyXzM0NDg1OTAzXzhEQjZGNDlC] African slavery is so much the outstanding feature of the South, in the unthinking view of it, that people often forget there had been slaves in all the old colonies. Slaves were auctioned openly in the Market House of Philadelphia; in the shadow of Congregational churches in Rhode Island; in Boston taverns and warehouses; and weekly, sometimes daily, in Merchant's Coffee House of New York. Such Northern heroes of the American Revolution as John Hancock and Benjamin Franklin bought, sold, and owned black people. William Henry Seward, Lincoln's anti-slavery Secretary of State during the Civil War, born in 1801, grew up in Orange County, New York, in a slave-owning family and amid neighbors who owned slaves if they could afford them. The family of Abraham Lincoln himself, when it lived in Pennsylvania in colonial times, owned slaves. [/quote]

Okay, so with all the BS secession shit going on, it makes me question the civil war, if all these rednecks, and so-called rebels believe the civil war was about states rights (which i can see, but what state rights were being provoked by the union? anti-slavery laws or what) how could the south, being Christians and followers of Jesus, justify using slaves the way they did to achieve proficient income.
