HERE'S A GOOD QUESTION FOR ALL YOU GENIUSES

Was suddenly freeing the slave population of the south (40% or more of that total population), as part of the Civil War, a good, or smart, idea, at that time?

True or false?

It kind of reminds me of, say, the Morgenthau Plan for Nazi Germany, 

or, say, the Bush's adventures in Iraq.....

Lala land......
