Slavery - When did it end?

Slavery - When did it end?

Who kept slave longer?

There is and has been a big brouhaha about the confederate battle Flag (See DrMiler's posts in the forum for a picture).  It is supposed to represent slavery.  But that is just what the Politically Correct people want you to think.  For the truth is anything but.  So for the uninitiated, a little Quiz.

1. What state(s) had legalized slavery the latest?

2. What is the CSA (Confederate States of America) flag?  Describe it.

3. Under which flag was slavery practiced the longest?

4. Under which American Flag was Slavery practiced the longest?

5. How many people were enslaved under the rule of the Confederate States of America?

6. How many Americans were enslaved Under the united States of America?

7. When did Slavery Officially End in America?

Now, anyone answering these questions, then go to the Essay question.

8. In 50 words or less, explain how the Confederate States of America Flag is on a footing with a nazi Swastika.

This is a challenge to all.  I know Dabe cannot answer here, but Dabe, I will respond if you post an article answering these questions on your blog.  For the rest, answer as many of these questions as you can.  You need not answer them all.

Great post Doc, I certainly noticed that you were gone. Welcome back! I am still un-clear on the correct answer for #1

Thank you.  The Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves in states in rebellion, hence they confederacy.  It was signed into law in January 1863, but did not take effect until the Union reacquired control of said states in the Spring of 1865.

West Virginia and Maryland never were in rebellion, and hence they were allowed to keep their slaves until the 13th amendment was ratified in December 1865.
