For all of you, bear in mind that you're looking at slavery from a totally different perspective than the slaves. You're white and you know America's history. One of the main reasons why my liberty is so dear to me is because i know the price that was paid for it. They didn't! You've experienced liberty and freedom. You were born into it and are living in it. They didn't know what liberty was! They had never experienced it!
Johan, "25,000 slaves followed Shermans men to the dream of freedom" sure 25,000 slaves followed Sherman's men. Did any one of them make it back up to the North? Not that I know of! Sherman perposelly cut them off. So much for their "dream of freedom". And yeah, they may have wanted to be free, but they sure were mournin when they were set free because all of a sudden reality hit that they didn't have anywhere to go! They had no food, no shelter, no money! Ok. Then ya'll want to know if that'd be better then not having liberty. I'm not a slave. I don't know.
btw, I hope ya'll realize that slavery was not only in the South, and the North in general was not sympathetic towards the slaves!
