Correct me if I am wrong, but not a single slave ship was owned or commissioned by a Southern State. Correct me if I am wrong, but Lincoln Freed the Slaves only in the South.......not the North...uh..Emancipation Procolmation. Correct me if I am wrong, but Slavery existed long after the So Called Civil War...Where??? in the NOrthern State...Much false, much wrong reported history.....How about some real truth...get down on it..common.

I can't speak for that - however they sure did take advantage of the product (ie the slaves) - no "side" was totally "innocent" (people yes, south/north as a whole no) - (personally although Slavery has been promoted as the "reason" for the war - there were many other reasons for the war - the politicos just used slavery as a tool to incite emotions (and probably redirected everyone's attention from the other shenanigans they were pulling).) (and please don't misinterpret me as saying freeing the slaves wasn't important)
