@JRonald223 @speechboy71 There were riots in the North, including in New York, where conscripted white troops fought the idea of going to war for black slaves. The Union wasn't full of abolitionists. The white and black abolitionists were heroic, but few in number. Most fought only to preserve the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

@JRonald223 @speechboy71 And here's a good read on emancipation -- which again, was a war tactic. Emancipation was not why the Union went to war, though preserving slavery FOREVER was why they South seceded. https://t.co/hx4FEMqzuP — PolitiTweet.org
