In Reply to: What disgusts me is finessing the fact that indeed slavery hung in the balance in this war. posted by tinear on June 13, 2020 at 08:57:22:
I would like to see any documented proof you have that slaves were customarily murdered, vs the Jews by Hitler.
Also, Lee was not alone in the South thinking that slavery was wrong. You have no way of knowing that slavery would have continued in existence. Your assumption that if the Confederacy won would mean slavery would have continued unchanged has no merit. The change in attitude towards slavery almost worldwide changed over time. The South may very well have changed in time as well. Hell, the world, including the defeated North, could have forced it economically. You don't know.
Let me guess....you are a college professor.
