The United States of America lost 5% of its adult male population freeing the slaves and securing the union.
In the late 1800's, the loss of a MALE family member was staggering cost in the lives of families.
The cost we have already paid ensured an entire generation of slaves were freed and stopped another generation from being born into slavery.
