It was US laws that made slavery legal. And just before the Civil War the US Supreme Court and Congress backed slavery. So blame the US and the American Flag...That's the way I look at it.
...and you got it half right.
The South was right.
Right? Right about what? That they should be able to OWN other human beings? No.
And the amendment to end slavery was ratified in December of 1865. Just 8 months after the end of the civil war.
