[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [qb] [QUOTE]United States also only freed its slaves in 1865 this was 32 years *after* the rest of the civilised world (or the British Empire as it was then known ) did so. [/QUOTE]If you're so civilized, why were you so close to supporting the slaveowning South? Because the Empire figured that if it weakened the States enough, (because if the South had seceded, that probably would have started a general breakdown) it'd eventually be able to reclaim its former colonies, that's why. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes, one of the reasons was that we hoped to weaken the US, however another reason was the unprovoked bording of the Royal Mail packet ship Trent and the seisure of two Confederate representatives. If we had wanted to take back the colonies we would have done in 50 years before in the War of 1812 anyway. My original comment was supposed to be lighthearted. Guess I should have known better...
