The black people would also grin about the flag being removed, but if they ever took time to think about it. Did the United States really fight the Confederacy to free slaves. Not really. The Northern states had slaves to in the early part of this country. Once they didn't need them anymore they got rid of them then bitched the south was using slaves, and that it was immoral. For how many years did the north bitch about it, but would do nothing about it. The answer is a long time. They never sent an army in to free slaves. The war started when the south got pissed, and wanted to separate. If you join something why cant you withdrawl from it? How long do you let someone stay in your house when you ask them to leave before you bust them in the mouth? The north refused to leave so the south opened fire. The war was not over slavery it was over independence. Sure slavery was a huge part of the disagreement, but not near all of it. An emancipation Proclomation 3 years after the war started freeing slaves doesn't mean the north was fighting for it. It was a smart move to make the north look good, and people would rally behind it. Black people should really ask thereselves was the United States really fighting for our freedom or was they just holding the south at gunpoint for wanting to leave. The northern hero grant said" If I thought this war was over slavery id gladly relinquish my sword to the other side"
