  • slavery is still on 2 day , (WORKING CLASS)

  • Actually, the Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in the states "still under rebellion against the Union." Lincoln really had no authority to do this, so the Proclamation did nothing except encourage African Americans to enlist. It was the 13th Amendment that really freed the slaves and even after that, African Americans were still kept in a de facto state of slavery through low wages, poor housing, a hostile majority population, and organizations such as the KKK.

  • No, i don't know woman.

  • @Anna00555 yeah but that only ended slavery in the North. Where everybody was already free.

  • slaves weren't considered sub people they weren't even considered people they were considered to b property

  • @Anna00555 There were still slaves in the union after the emancipation proclamation

  • The Civil War was in the 19th century (1861-65). It was not about slavery, although its end was a result. It was about whether the south could leave the union. Those who supported the south were traitors against the United States. A by-product of preventing this was the Emancipation Proclaimation (1863) which ended slavery.

  • @justinenns You are wrong, let me tell you this, if a worker has to work 9-11 hours a day and get paid enough to pay the bills and feed the family, how does he have the ability to shift up a class ? remeber, to shift a class i have to own private property...

  • @DEVRIMCI2007 It is, but it has nothing to do with the working class. The working class are allowed to move up in society. Slaves weren't.

  • @mountsthelen04 It was about states' "right" to maintain the legal bases for slavery. That's how it started. The slavery issue was couched in legalistic terms about states' rights to determine their own laws and institutions.

  • lol you know it
