They opposed the enslavement of human beings, they felt they should be free, and in that sense, given equal consideration as fellow human beings, but none of them ever suggested they were equal to whites or advocated for such policies.
Here is where the modern day liberal nitwit, gets Civil Rights and the Civil War confused... the literally view the Civil War as the beginning of Civil Rights, and it wasn't. Those who favored abolition to slavery, were NOT advocates of racial equality! They just weren't! And to continue pretending that this was the case, is simply ignorant of historical fact, and an insult to Civil Rights, in my opinion.
If you bother to READ the post in context, and not be tempted to dissect my comments into perversions of what you THINK you read, you will find I stated it very clearly and in a very non-contradictory way. Those who favored equality of FREEDOM from slavery, did not automatically endorse equality of blacks and whites in society! If that were the case, we would have never needed the Civil Rights Act, because for the preceding century, we would have all understood that blacks were equal to whites, and there would have never been the systemic racist segregation established in our society! There is NO contradiction in stating THE TRUTH, that while people advocated freedom from slavery, they DIDN'T advocate racial equality, that simply wasn't the case before 1964.
Now, if you all want to twist that statement into Dixie claiming that not a single person in the United States ever once spoke of equality among races, then you can do that, it shows what a bunch of dishonest fucks you are. My point (and again, THE TRUTH) is that segregation was a national policy for 100 years, ALL presidents, ALL Congresses, and ALL Courts, upheld and condoned the segregationist policies and practices, for a century after the Civil War! Whether there were SOME people who MIGHT have spoken out against it, is beside the point! Those in power to do something about it, did NOTHING about it!

You really are as dumb as they say, aren't you? YOU contradict YOURSELF in your own post brainiac!
What a chachi!
