If you go back to the link you provided to civilwar.org and look directly below the title you will see (in all caps) "From America's Civil War Magazine (HistoryNet.com)." Our company published the article first, (originally in our <em>America's Civil War</em> magazine and then on our Website <em>HistoryNet</em>) and the Civil War Trust asked permission to reprint it on their site, <em>CivilWar.org</em>. The Civil War Trust has successfully worked to preserve many thousands of acres of Civil War battlefields that would otherwise be unprotected and open to modern development, and the organization continues to do so. (You might want to consider joining the <a href="http://www.civilwar.org/aboutus/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CWT</a> and contributing to their ongoing efforts if you aren't already a member.) The Civil War Trust and Weider History Group (our company) have a long-standing relationship of cooperation whereby they have reprinted, with permission, a number of our articles on their site and we have reprinted, with permission, some materials from their site on ours — and each site credits the other when this occurs.

"Freeing the slaves" was just a cover adopted by the northern Kool-Aid guzzlers. Blacks today have never had it better, with affirmative action, set-asides, etc. Stop your whining. They have BETTER opportunities than other minority groups if they will just apply themselves.
