Im struggling with this war for a couple reasons. Now, yes it is dehumanizing to many blacks at the time, BUT, should have the government stepped in and forced the south, as well as the rest of the country, to deem slavery illegal. Shouldnt this have been a voted on through legislature. I know slavery doesnt sound like a good term, but with that thought, many slave owners treated slaves well, and, as we all know, there are as many racists in the north as in the south.
I dont like the idea of slavery,(although I feel that way under our current government), but was it constitutional?
