Which was not introduced into Southerern society by their choice.
If, as the argument claims slavery was dying, what was to be the intended plan to deal with blacks who were no longer slaves.
You are the one claiming slavery was dying. The Southern leadership in 1861 fully expected it to continue for generations.
You misunderstand me. I’m not saying slavery was dying. I’m pointing out this is the argument the “Lost Causers’’ and Confederate sympathizers use. Slavery was NOT dying out. The South wanted to preserve it and at the time, in the late 1850s Kansas was applying for statehood. The South wanted it to be a slave state and the North did not. It’s in Kansas, “Bleeding Kansas’’, that The Civil War really started.
