It’s actually heart warming to see quotes by Union soldiers despising slavery. I know we all go “union side was best side.” But in my mind I always wondered how they truly felt cause of the time period in which the civil war took place. Seeing words by them talking about how it basically broke their souls to see their fellow man in bondage, in a bittersweet way warms my heart. It shows, to me, that despite whatever time period something is in, there was and will always be good humans.
