@SouthernGentleman That, and Lincoln, based off his letter to Albert Hodges and his debates with Stephen Douglas, wished to end slavery.

@SouthernGentleman > the 13th amendment and Emancipation proclamation is the equivalent of the Volksstram Neither of these statutes allowed black men to enlist. That was done in other ordinances, and it wasn't out of desperation. >Lincoln quote He said that during his debate with Stephen Douglas so people wouldn't think he was in favour miscegenation. Remember, much of the voters in the 19th century were white supremacists.

@SouthernGentleman Grant repudiated the order. It was drafted by one of his subordinates, signed by him in the heat of war.

@SouthernGentleman Don't care what the Jews think they are fighting for, they are fighting for a country that was based on the "great truth that the [redacted by YouTube] was not equal to the white man."

@SouthernGentleman Sherman eventually signed Special Field Order 15, which gave former slaves 40 acres and a mule.

@SouthernGentleman The USCT wasn't founded for another 8 months after the signing of the Emancipation Proclaimation. And the 13 amendment doesn't make any exclusions for specific states.

@SouthernGentleman Yes I know Grant did sign the order. He did, however repudiate it. He also appointed more Jews to office than any previous president, and condemned human rights abuses against jews in Europe.

@SouthernGentleman Still though. If the emancipation Proclaimation was supposed to get Blacks in the Union army, why wait another 4 months? It was signed in Spetember 1862 by the way.

@SouthernGentleman And guess which side abolished slavery?
2
@SouthernGentleman Then why did he sign the Emancipation Proclaimation? To get more troops -8- 5 months down the line?

I wouldn't see that as a plus mate.

@SouthernGentleman You mean the order that raised the Confederate equivalent of the Volkssturm?

@SouthernGentleman Why not end it then and there instead of letting it die a slow painful death?

@SouthernGentleman Grant and Sherman were out in the West and they were having numerous successes. The 13th Amendment was passed by Congress in January of 1865, by then it was pretty clear that the south was done for. It was fully ratified by 27 of the 36 required states on December 6th, about half a year after the last Confederate general surrendered.

@SouthernGentleman I must say, you are very courteous, more so than other commenters. It's a nice chat.

@SouthernGentleman Why? The prerequisite of any Spanish campaign is that the enemy should under no circumstances carry a weapon more powerful than a spear.
