Yup, most certainly is, Bev. The Southern states had already begun a transition that included a lot of the large land owners pensioning off and share cropping and various other forms of setting up slaves to become former slaves with total freedom and a little chunk of land or into paid employment or indenture where they earned their freedom. That was then made official and written into their Constitution.

The North on the other hand was busy dumping their slaves. Most went to large Dutch run slave markets in the islands. Some simply told them to take a hike.

The war wasn't about slavery.

Is that for real, James?
I didn't know that.
