I'm not sure if youre being purposely dumb or youre not sure how or what happened, but the movement was not political.

The abolition movement wasn't political? Don't worry, I address this dumb ass statement below.
You seem to be of the moronic view that had Lincoln not been elected then slaves would never have been freed

You're making up a fictitious conversation that we had. Quote where I said, or insinuated that. Better yet, fukk it, I addressed your strawman below. Executive orders, who has the power to issue one and all that.
No dummy freedom was inevitable regardless of who was president.

Sooo, Democrat Jefferson Davis woulda passed that?

Anti slavery was something bubbling in the Republican Party. Exact opposite of the Democrats at the time, who were mostly southern rich landowners, and poor southern whites.
The Underground Railroad wasn't a grassroots political movement?
Frederick Douglas, ever heard of him? He was only alive and heavily involved in the political discourse and events that led to the abolition of slavery. As a Republican. That wouldn't happen to be a political party now would it?
Let me not speak for that man though.
His words are on the record.
"I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress."
-Frederick Douglas
"A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it."
-Frederick Douglas
"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe."
-Frederick Douglas
"Without a struggle, there can be no progress."
-Frederick Douglas
Harriet Tubman, who is she? Let's find out, shall we?
"I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves."
-Harriet Tubman
"I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other."
-Harriet Tubman
"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world"
-Harriet Tubman
Are those quotes of political discourse? From a time BEFORE most blacks were free, could vote, could fukk PAWGS, could own land. I wonder what those words mean?
Sounds like political discourse to me.
Underground Railroad - Grassroots political movement
Abolitionists - Collective group of free blacks and whites against slavery, political, reason notwithstanding
Emancipation Proclamation - Executive Order, political, issued by President Lincoln, not Congress, ordered slaves be set free, thus causing the southern Slave States to secede from the Union, which resulted in "The Civil War".
Presidential Executive Orders, and war are of a political nature, smart dumb nikka.
Morale of he story: We have to be heavily involved in politics as a people to get our agenda pushed. Yes, our political system is corrupt and crooked, and fixed, but corruption can be overcome. The only way to do it is to use it. It's been done before, it can be done again.
I know my history, cac
