Nicole Hannah Jones of Project 1619 is in the news to idiotically proclaim
That the North did not fight the Civil War to end slavery only the Union to retain
Ignores the fact that to have a Union of free states growing by leaps and bounds
No way could it continue to have a decreasing percentage of slave states' population still around
Had not the South been so foolish given the industrialization of the North to on Fort Sumpter fire
Only a question of time before slavery by legislative fiat or aping John Browns would have been retired
The plantation owners who were the minority when most whites owned none or only a few slaves
Pulled off the great con job of all time to convince poor whites that state’s rights must be saved
Lincoln would have known after the commencement of the Civil War
And casualties on both sides began to soar
That the South’s biggest fear would be that the blacks would rebel
Facing the Union on all sides and blacks inside would be its death knell
The North began arming blacks into its armies and navy until they constituted ten percent
Freeing the slaves in occupied Southern states would mean more blacks to the front sent
She may be right not in the beginning but after the Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves was a major goal
As growing casualties on both sides were taking their toll
Fortunately for the North the South fought with half its male population not armed
Freeing blacks who served in Confederacy too much risk of harm
