it was a republican that wrote the 13th amendment

2018-07-16 15:02:18 UTC  

it was a republican that freed the slaves

2018-07-16 15:03:32 UTC  

Going through the list.

2018-07-16 15:03:35 UTC  

well that was inevitable with pressures from the brit empire increasing navy presence - but werent there some against it? some republicans and some democrats?

2018-07-16 15:04:07 UTC  

I think it was more economy based rather than a partisan issue

2018-07-16 15:04:46 UTC  

And Id imagine they differed on reason

2018-07-16 15:04:58 UTC  

liberation of the slaves was totally a strategical move, not a moral one.

2018-07-16 15:05:08 UTC  

at least in the US

2018-07-16 15:05:32 UTC  

What was the strategy behind that?

2018-07-16 15:05:37 UTC  

I can easily see the moral part.

2018-07-16 15:05:46 UTC  

But Id like to know what was the strategy

2018-07-16 15:06:33 UTC  

for the abolishionists it was totally moral

2018-07-16 15:06:34 UTC  

steal all their workers

2018-07-16 15:06:47 UTC  

encourage uprisings

2018-07-16 15:06:52 UTC  

but sure it was both and inevitable

2018-07-16 15:06:56 UTC  

make slaves more willing to join the north

2018-07-16 15:07:05 UTC  

Ah I see that

2018-07-16 15:07:09 UTC  

so might as well use it to your advantage

2018-07-16 15:07:17 UTC  

destabilizes the Souths whole economy and gives you an influx of soldiers

2018-07-16 15:07:27 UTC  

helps spark resistence

2018-07-16 15:07:30 UTC  

*oooooooooooh*

2018-07-16 15:07:38 UTC  

I don't think there were really that many black regiments thiugh

2018-07-16 15:07:45 UTC  

there were a few

2018-07-16 15:07:48 UTC  

*Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord*

2018-07-16 15:07:57 UTC  

Still, one less worker for the south

2018-07-16 15:08:01 UTC  

so perhaps the goal but not sure of actual impact

2018-07-16 15:08:09 UTC  

And a potential recruit for the north

2018-07-16 15:08:10 UTC  

*He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored*

2018-07-16 15:08:24 UTC  

Though I dont think the average american north or south would be okay with that

2018-07-16 15:08:33 UTC  

Is that a kid as a drummer?

2018-07-16 15:08:44 UTC  

*He hath loosed the fateful lightning from his terrible swift sword*

2018-07-16 15:08:51 UTC  

*His truth is marching on*

2018-07-16 15:09:09 UTC  

really the help in destabilizing the economy, encouraging rebellion and making the North more welcomed as liberators than invaders was probably greater than the soldier aspect

2018-07-16 15:09:13 UTC  

***Glory, glory, hallelujah!***

2018-07-16 15:09:25 UTC  

and the moral high road don't forget that

2018-07-16 15:09:29 UTC  

Yeah I get that now. Damn, that makes alot of sense as a strategic option as well.

2018-07-16 15:09:35 UTC  

that was how they sold the population on it

2018-07-16 15:09:40 UTC  

And the fact that it can be used as a moral choice is a bonus

2018-07-16 15:09:41 UTC  

just like hte war on drugs
