miller: with all due respect, somehow the idea of using religious writings as justification for holding fellow human beings in bondage is well, unchristian, as i understand what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ...
and as to slaves remaining loyal, fact is, around 180,000 black men served as soldiers in the union army during the later half of the war...from the war's beginning to end many thousands of black men and women served the union cause in any way they could...wherever union armies went in the south, large numbers of slaves followed them...seeking freedom, which is man's natural state...
