You have a source for that claim, right?When the Civil War started, the Union States of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and New Jersey still had slavery. Lincoln said they could keep slavery as long as they did not secede from the Union. Later during the war, Lincoln illegally made West Virginia a new state and they could also keep slavery.
So it was OK for the Union States to have slavery, but not the Confederate states. Define hypocrisy.
