Half the states abolished slavery or enacted gradual emancipation.

Half didn’t.

Sounds like a mixed beginning.

At a later time, about one white man per slave gave his life in a war, for whatever reason it began, became a war to free the slaves.

I guess that wasn’t enough.

I know there were a great many casualties in the Civil War - but isn’t that ratio on the high side?
