      A big controversy at the time was that emancipation didn't come with any "compensation" to former slaveowners

      That was both for moral reasons among genuine abolitionists and practical -- that much cash didn't exist

      The estimated value of enslaved workers to the South was astronomical

      Which isn't a defense of slaveowners -- fuck them -- but the North also didn't care abt compensating the freedmen for their unpaid labor

      In that sense the South's complaint that the war was a big transfer of wealth to the North was vaguely accurate

      (The most wronged parties of course predictably being former slaves who didn't ever get that "40 acres and a mule")

      Which is why Europeans almost all condemned slavery as a barbaric institution but not *too* hard lest they have to do something about it

      Not like that's true of any exploitative labor arrangements today or anything

      NB: While we laud the Union Army for freeing the slaves it was the same troops and officers "clearing" the West for resource extraction
