Too bad most leftists don't realize that slavery ENDED many moons ago and we have been declared equals ever since. Also, there is no systemic racism in this country yet that is their battle cry for the masses.

What pains me more is this disturbing notion, propagated by Neo-Cons and Noble South peddlers, that the North fought purely to restore the Union and not at all out of concern for the plight of their African-American brothers in chains. That view wasn't especially popular at first, yes, but after the Emancipation Proclamation millions more began to fight because they knew and believed slavery to be wrong.
