re: How do you feel about Mississippi's "Confederate Heritage Month"?

I’m not doing your homework for you. There were 500k slaves in the north before the end o the War. Not a single one of those 500k northern slaves were freed from the emancipation proclamation. Why not? I thought the north was fighting to free slaves. Why would a country fighting a war to free slaves continue to have 500k slaves til the end of the war?

Where? Because if you are going to call Kentucky a northern state then you are incorrect as well. Delaware and Maryland never seceded but tried to be neutral because they knew they would get destroyed if they picked a side. Maryland pretty much was taken over by the federal government and officially abolished slavery during the war.
