Lincoln "Unfreed " Slaves In Kentucky?

[revelarts]

Do I ever read your novellas? You're off topic. No one was discussing the right or wrong of slavery. It's a separate issue and hardly a topic exclusive to the US, Lincoln, Douglas nor anyone else. Slavery exists and always has regardless what you and Frederick Douglas think.

The issue is the reaction by poor whites, specifically in border states. The sentiment you hold was not a popular one. It an excuse to take by force of arms what the US couldn't get by bullying.

You apparently haven't read what I posted. Poor whites in tenements working in slave shops were no less slaves because someone labelled them otherwise. Try to stay on the topic for once.

SO you didn't read my post and it looks like you didn't even read the 1st post of the thread which is about Lincoln, Kentucky, Slavery, Mentions the reasons for the Civil War, AND has NOTHING to do with "the reaction of POOR WHITES".

Maybe that's where YOU wanted to take it but don't pretend that's what the Thread's 'ABOUT" and claim others are off topic.

Americans tend to think of the Civil War as being fought to end slavery. Even one full year into the Civil War, the elimination of slavery was not a key objective of the North. Despite a vocal Abolitionist movement in the North, many people and many soldiers, in particular, opposed slavery, but did not favor emancipation....
