        Emancipation was the only antidote for the poison slavery spread through our nation. No compromise!

        This is what Robt E Lee and the CSA fought to preserve. The values and monuments of the CSA-not worthy of honor. Put em in museums.

        More than that. The Confederacy had a vision of a slave nation running through Mexico, Central America and part of South America.

        No that was Abe's vision. He wanted to relocate all slaves to Central and South America.
