The South made many attempts at a negotiated peace and not the North. Also, on many occasions Gen. Lee said the Yankees never really seemed like the enemy. He called them "those people", instead of the enemy.
I believe the North and the South would have gotten along fine as two separate countries.

Only a thirty foot high wall would have kept your slaves from fleeing to the free North. Do you think your slaves were going to build that wall?

"The South made many attempts at a negotiated peace and not the North." Actually after April 1861, the list of North-South negotiations is pretty short, includes only the Hampton Roads Conference in early 1865.
