Don’t get it twisted. There were plenty of people who were against slavery but still deeply racist. There was a big movement among abolitionists to send all the black folks back to Africa. That’s how Liberia was founded.
That’s was not a terrible idea for the time. It backfired horrendously and the n US ignored the hell out of it l. Honestly, it was pretty much the history of Isreal
I think it was a terrible idea because it was just more colonization. Just like Israel it’s not like Liberia was just empty. There were more than enough resources for integration, they were just unevenly distributed, history of capitalism blah blah.
They pretty much believed in fucking magic at the time. There was more evidence that the two races were incompatible then there was a lot of other stupid things believed back then. Plus if you are going to fuck someone over it might as well be someone not in your country then someone who is. I guess. Still not good though.
That segregation, was that in the entire USA? How was it introduced for the entire USA when the North fought for the freedom of the black population?

Yep, a lot of folks were racist and just pro-union.

Because the leaders of the confederate were allowed to live
The idea of “equal but separate” that ran from post-US civil war up the US civil rights movement will tell you as to why.
