Why do Yankees bad mouth the south over slavery when it was a yankee that prolonged slavery?

Fact, slavery was dying in the south and the cotton gin made it worth while to keep slaves. Why did yankees back then hate black folk so much.

    Black people sold each other to slave traders, but you will never hear that in a public school during so called Black history month.

    Historical negationism is rampant in public schools.I worked two jobs to keep my children out of those liberal indoctrination camps.

    Southern lawmakers could have outlawed slavery at any time.

    Why are we still discussing slavery?

    Nobody who was there is even alive.

    I guess it depends on what history book you learned your "facts".

    I'm a norther and I really don't remember the last time this topic was even discussed.
    We chalk slavery up to the fact that people in those times were pretty much ignorant and crazy as the shitehouserat.
    No analogy is really drawn to today's southern states.

    They need something to justify their feelings of superiority. People forget that the Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves in the states aligned with the Confederacy and not the United States.

    slavery has been over for 150 years. It is time to move on. Most of us have.

    by the way, the invention of a machine didn't mandate slavery. The people that owned the slaves in the south could have freed them and paid them for the work. they are the ones that chose not to do that.

    I just wish the south had never brought them here OR they should have sent them all back.

    NOT RACIST – I resent them playing the race card and saying my people were in chains. You know what…your "people" are still sold as slaves in Africa. You have it WAY better here and you should thank God that you are here…but you don't and that makes me mad.

    It doesn't matter. Both are still racist and unfortunately still breed more.

    the Africans started it by selling their neighboring tribes to the British Moroccan and Arabic slave traders who then under American funding transported the negro to America, and without them you would only have half your population and no president, and only half the debt your in now

    So you blame to invention of the cotton gin for the slave owners greed?

    One does not justify the other.
