POTCS Davis sent SOS Toombs and a few other CSA officials to DC to negotiate with the USA in March. IMO The whole war could have been avoided if Lincoln recognized the CSA (7 states at that time) with reunification in the future.

Do you seriously think a single state would even contemplate reunification after Lincoln capitulating like that? Really?!
