This was an issue Ron Paul was attacked on in 2008. It has not come up this election cycle other than Huntsman's attack ad. If you are not familiar with his position it is basically that Ron Paul believes that the civil war was an unnecessary war that cost the lives of 600,000 America lives.
Ron Paul suggests that the government should have purchased all the slaves from the owners and set them free. He cites that this was the actions of other countries that took this approach to end slavery in their countries. Abraham Lincoln in a letter to congress even suggested the same prior to the civil war.
