[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 1283468, member: 663"] In my humble opinion those slave would have been freed. It would have taken time. But slavery was on the way out. Notables such as General R. E. Lee were opposed to slavery. Jos. Davis, brother of Jefferson Davis had a program on his Mississippi plantation that he would free any slave that learned a trade and could support himself. This brand of leadership from the South would have eventually ended slavery in a much kinder and compassionate way. But the war came and the Yankees stopped that dead in its tracks. People think the slaves were freed and had a grand time. Do they ever stop to think that the desolation of the south caused hunger among the whites but among the blacks as well? When the invading union troops destroyed crops, ran off the mules, killed hogs and other livestock this hurt everybody, black and white. You can't live high on the hog when there is no hog. The war, the terrible bloodshed, indescribable hardship, poverty and hunger did not help anybody other than a politician greedy for control and power. Deo Vindice [/QUOTE]
