[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 921099, member: 4362"] Gen Grant owned slaves and according to the US census per capita there was a higher pecentage of freed black slave owners who owned a higher number of slaves than there were white. Its true Lincoln did not like slavery and his idea was to ship them to south america because he viewed them as somewhat less than human and not capable of adapting to civilized standards of society. Lincoln's emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in states not loyal to the union and in some instances only certain portions of these states. I can't say why others fought but I can say why my family fought for the south since we did not own slaves nor did we believe in it. We fought because we were South Carolinian's first and and american's second. From what I've gathered, it seems my family did its most noteworthy fighting during the reconstruction era when the northern hulligans and thieves fell upon us like the plague. Fortunately these verming did a pi$$ poor job of reconstructing us and several died trying. [/QUOTE]
