Sherman cared fuck all about slavery, he just wanted to burn shit.

One could argue, it was Sherman. Grant was too soft. Sherman was restrained. He wanted to exterminate those inbred filth entirely. Country would’ve progressed socially, much faster over the corpse of the white south.

I read abolition as abortion at first and was extremely confused

I was watching a documentary on Grant and when he got married, he was given some a slave bc his wife was Southern but felt uneasy about it. So he eventually paid to have him freed. Of course, all we hear outside the context of his amazing command during the Civil War was that he was a drunkard and corrupt.

The Cassius Clay disrespect is crazy. My man’s was like the OG abolitionist.

Putting the only one of the three who owned slaves at the bottom is a choice (I know he found slavery distasteful from early on and only accepted it because of his wife, but would you accept that excuse from literally anyone else?)
Also, lol at Lincoln being so tall he has a different aspect ratio from everyone else.

Remember kids, reconstruction was a mistake and every confederate general should have been put to the sword. We had a chance to cut it out and hard passed in the name of “healing”.

Verifiably false, I will not stand for such slander of Cassius MOTHERFUCKING Clay.

Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines (because the Haitian revolution inspired rebellion in the states), Benjamin Lay, Nat Turner and John Brown also come to mind. The good news is there were a lot of these folks.
The bad news is young people are taught: “Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves…” Which of course is wildly over-simplified, and not true (slavery never ended).

I respectfully submit that, whatever his other faults, John C. Fremont needs a lot more inclusion on lists like this. He was more of an abolitionist than 2/3 of this list. Lincoln actually fired him for freeing slaves! (I mean, that and the insubordination).
