People in the south see things differently and many people you speak to will give real examples different from the accepted narrative of the civil war.

You have to ask, What was the political and economic benefit of being against slavery at that time? 200000 more black soldiers is one benefit, and of course a larger potential tax base.

I had never heard of any person or nation do anything for free. I doubt they cared about the blacks of the time. Napoleon during the napoleonic wars when invading Spain said that he wanted to liberate the Spanish, we said we wanted to liberate the iraqis in 2003... and on and on

Black people today should not be pandered to regarding the slavery subject. This is history. There were white slaves, spanish slaves, italian slaves, there were debt bondage to pay for debts or their trip to the new world. Pandering to this idea is causing them to lose accountability for their actions in the present.

A slave did not pay taxes and did not spend money. Who could possibly benefit from that.
