Negrophilic radical abolitionism may not have been a majority opinion but the eternal merchants of Massachusetts managed to win manipulate everyone and win a total victory by redirecting all the hatred that would have organically been directed on them onto the South. It's kind of funny how the "What did they fight for?" meme is used to ridicule GIs, but it took decades for the full effects of their efforts to be seen. For Union veterans, they got duped into fighting for a full blown nigger jihad halfway through the war, and they didn't even give a shit because they were so focused on raping every Southern lady and nigger girl they could get their hands on.
