From what I understand, the North didn't give a crap about the black people. They just made the no slave rule so that the South would be dependent on them. I don't think any of the Union soldiers who went to war and gave their life for the cause cared one bit about black people. It was all about politics and power, not about slaves.
I guess you've never heard of the abolitionist movement. Or perhaps it was swept out with that generalization?
