People were also born into slave states and chose to fight for the Union. Lincoln himself was one of those people. My Southern ancestors did likewise. One lost his position as pastor of his church over it. Even the most ignorant Confederates were not naive innocents.

During reconstruction he worked to protect the interests of freedmen and used troops under his command to protect places threatened by the Klan.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Henry_Thomas …
