[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3842645, member: 45328"] I find it quite a coincidence that the switch from keeping the union together, to slavery, being the reason to fight, occurred at exact same time, as The battle of Gettysburg, the draft riots in NYC, and the announcement of the emancipation proclamation, that was written in Jan. and ALL three occurred in early July of 1863? The NYC draft riots were mainly due to NYC white men being drafted to fight, and die, casualty reports had just reached NYC, from Gettysburg, to free black men, that had not been used in combat yet! Another reason was the pratice of allowing wealthy people to HIRE substitutes, to avoid the draft! [/QUOTE]
