Do you realize that the District of Columbia was a slave city until 1862?

Or that the Union was a slave nation when the Confederacy surrendered, & remained a slave nation until 1866?

Or that the Emancipation Proclamation was worded carefully so that slaves in parts of the Confederacy that the Union controlled remained slaves?

Maybe you don't. In fact, I'm sure you don't.
