You have to put things in historical perspectiveOur founders fought for freedom.
The south fought to deny freedom to others
Therein lies the difference.
Do you think the slaves in 1775-1780s would agree with that assessment?
Slavery was prevalent in 1775
by 1860, the US was one of the last nations to hold onto the institution
The South was willing to fight and die to maintain it
