OK I'm a bit confused...
When I was in New Orleans post Katrina there was defacto slavery going on IN THE USA!.
Now I am in Uganda, and I am very aware of people being paid... less than zero.
AND ALL YOU PEOPLE CAN TALK ABOUT IS A PIECE OF PAPER FROM 145 YEARS AGO?
There have been many great women and men in US history that have struggled and still struggle for... well, all of it.
Stash the "who-dee-who" argument and get on with doing what is correct for people TODAY in TODAYS world.
Please?
Ok....can you please define 'defacto slavery'?
Deregulate Slavery.
The cotton gin freed slaves
You've got to be kidding. Slavery was dying down until Eli invented the cotton gin and then slavery really took off.
Who wrote this article?? The Emancipation Proclamation did NOT free ANY slaves! Read some history!
It DID! Those who FOUGHT for the UNION were given FREEDOM in EXCHANGE - READ YOUR history!
Given freedom in exchange for fighting for the Union? Even if this is true, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next time, read the actual
words written on the page.
I've been trying to enlighten people of this fact for years!
Lincoln was said to be unhappy about the compromise, but he was willing to allow slavery if that would be the price of keeping the union whole. The Confederate States did not accept his offer and continued fighting, only to be defeated without guarantees of continued slavery. The abolitionists won by default.
It is a sad chapter in an ugly history.
