09/12 The N-Word Debate
Quote From: anwarnkenYou're right that there were mostly white people fighting during the civil war but you should understand that most blacks at the time were in the south and couldn't just run off the plantations and take up arms. Although there were some plantation revolts but they sort of ended in massacres. And the Immanciption Proclamation didn't free the saves; it basically said all the slaves that were part of the confederacy were free and those that had escaped to the north were free. It didn't open the floodgates for all slaves to have their freedom. But the main point... of course a white man "freed the slaves" it's not like there would've been a black president in 1863,,,, we think on the same page.people look at me weird when i say things like that.but i also think god had a little to do do with the whole thing.
