'Where was the Lord?': Slave testimonies
that&#x27;s just an awful part of world history, what allowed that to flourish?  total evil in men&#x27;s hearts, this was only 200 years ago, not that long ago, this isnt something that happened 1000 years ago.<p>and even though the confederacy was based on slaves being unequal to whites, the civil war was not necessarily about slavery only, it was more of a split in government between a pro-agrarian society, which required large swaths of slaves, and states vs federal government.  sure there were people strongly against slavery in the north like abraham lincoln and abolishinists, but i imagine a large majority in the north didnt really see that as the largest issue, it was more the south wanting to leave the united states and.form their own government.
