Yes they did, some resented it but it was apart of the society of time. Additionally many northern individuals kept slaves during the civil war. In fact records do show southern freed slaves fought along side white soldiers in the confederate army, some as fill ins for their masters, others as free men, and were not segregated into separate all black units as the morally superior yankee army did. So for your retarded response you must know and understand this, it has always been complex and shades of grey when defining the positions of individual men and causes, the hearts define their actions and like any society before and after have a certain population who enjoy control of other men.

Now fast forward fuck head, we are all slaves, emancipation never truly occurred, we just all traded places for servitude via centralized big government and central banking .

So next time kiwi really try to no be a slow fucktard who is debasing an argument to a middle school level.
