The institution of slavery was not unique to just the southern states of America.

Doyle if you would have taken the time to read some of my response you would see that I mentioned that slavery was worldwide. Do you not think that many fought to eradicate that from the very start? I am well aware that was not the stated purpose of the Union at the first. I really don't need you or your cheerleaders to tell me that. You Confederates love that tag-team style of debate don't you? My family owned slaves. One was killed by your Kentucky State Militia with his owner, my 3x g-grandfather. It did not make James Carmack evil. Never-the-less slavery was and is morally wrong. I always ask you boys if you would want to be a slave. Guess what Doyle, I have yet to have receive, YES for an answer. Now about the hollowness of my cause. That cause was when pro-Confederates robbed, raped and killed my people. I would have fought your friends till Hell froze over Mr. Taylor and then I would have fought them on the ice. Or at the feet of Lucifer. That was my cause Sir. No apology to you and your friends. Not Now, Not Ever.
