Are the hundreds of thousands of northern white boys whose bones lie under the dirt of eastern America not worthy of a thank you from the people they freed?

It depends, of course, on whether they gave their life for that purpose or for another, or if it was done willingly at all.

They're dead. ANd how does he know that Lewis have never made a statement about slavery and the sacrifices the north soldiers made? and Lewis also had the sheote beat out of him too by racists. Not sso ure the northerners who fought had a hand in making life all that easy for him in his formative years

Although their efforts certainly freed slaves, it was not their intent. Even the EP did not free slaves in the North. It was a plot to weaken the south. Hence freeing slaves only in the confederacy (where they had no jurisdiction at the time).
I'm no confederate sympathizer or anything. Just hate those who think the north was so compassionate towards slaves. They were not a fan of slavery but still saw blacks as unequal. Lincoln even stated he believedid they weren't equals to whites.
There was a fundamental disagreement on slavery. Not on racial equality. Not in the least.
