The north abolished slavery for the confederacy states with the Emancipation Proclamation that set the basis of the 13th amendment ratified in 1865, abolishing tslavery in the union.No it didn't. It didn't free a single slave. It didn't apply in Union controlled territory, and it couldn't be enforced in Confederate territory. Furthermore, it was unconstitutional.
Wrong.
Not immediately. They would have been freed in a few years.
No, you claimed Northerners fought to free the slaves. You claimed that was their purpose when the fact is that it was purely an unintentional by-product.
Again, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave. We aren't discussing the 13th Amendment. Moving the goal posts is a common tactic with progs when the can't back up their obviously wrong claims.
End result the north, Lincoln and Republicans abolished slavery in the US, legally.
You are blabbing manusha. You sound like Bill Clinton; " it depends on the meaning of is"
