1861-1865 Civil War- Which side had the Libtards?

i don't think slavery was really an issue. wasn't it taxes, just like 1776?

Illinois has its Southern side

the north was going door to door robbing and stealing. that's what the war was about. the robber barons and moguls that rose up after that war ALL got their wealth by Robbery in the South. That and Rape and Mass Murder. The union troops were worse than ISIS sweeping through.

Leaders of the northern abolition movement were huge racists who were appalled at southern slave breeding. Breeding negro women with whites to produce smarter offspring was an abomination to northern religious crazies.

Northern elites didn't just want to end slavery, they wanted to send all the blacks back to Africa and make the South pay for it. They did to a small extent by helping slaves found Liberia. An American slave colony ruled by primitive negro gang warlords to this day.

Another thing to remember about the North was the descendants of literal Witch Burners and Witch Hunters formed the backbone of the Abolition movement.

That Puritanism still infects politics to this day. Manifesting as liberal elites.

Not only that, Yankees burned the plantations because blacks refused to move out after being "freed". It was bad PR that blacks wanted to stay with massa.

Southern negros didn't know true poverty until they were freed by the Yankees.
