Well, you should have no pride in your knowledge of American History, thats for sure.
The " Stars and Stripes ", the flag of the North flew for over 80 years while Slavery was legal.
In fact, Lincoln didn't emancipate the slaves until 1863. Two years before the war ended.
And he wasn't emancipating slaves in rhe South either.
So the North only seemed to have an issue with slavery when the South chose to secede.
I wonder if the British flag should be removed from all Government buildings in the UK ?
Because that flag flew on many of the Slave ships that fereried over slaves to the new world.
Spain and Portuguese ships also ferried slaves over. Such historical hatred and evil locked up in those flags, right ?
You keep repeating the same wrong southern excuses for slavery and the civil war over and over. Please stop.
