The truth about the Confederate Flag | NEXT-GEN PATRIOTS: It is truly amazing how little people actually know about the Civil War. You hear people talk and the North was the savior of mankind racing into the evil South who simply wanted to sell everybody and their grandmother into slavery. Neither is true. Yes there was slavery but slavery had also been going on in other countries for centuries prior to the Civil War. Yes there were atrocities that occurred during slavery but there were also many aspects of slavery that was basically no different than many employment aspects of today. Some people got paid a wage; many got their housing and food. Many ‘slave owners’ knew that their ‘slaves’ were what kept them in business and made them money so they took care of their slaves. After the Emancipation Proclamation many slaves wanted to remain with their owners because their owner protected them, took care of them and provided food and housing. Additionally not every ‘black’ person in the South was a slave. There were also some highly well to do black people in the South.
