If they want more than that, they can knock on the doors of those that enslaved them in the first place - the Democrats. For all intents and purposes, the civil war was not north vs south. It was Republican vs Democrat.

First paragraph reflects my sentiments.
In 1860 the Democratic party split at the Wigwam. Blaming the Civil War on the Democrats because the party split into N/S rump parties doesn't really fly though because you do not know how the election would have turned out if it hadn't split. It was Slaveocracy hot heads who caused this split and based on your logic they caused the Civil War.
