True DiogenesLamp.

And slavery would have become obsolete peacefully, just as it did in every other Western nation.

The two-pronged U.S. would never have produced a Woodrow Wilson, to lie us into World War One, which led directly to World War Two.

The circulation of the New York Times would’ve never justified its continued existence.

Oh, the humanity!

This is exactly right.

What a lot of people don't grasp is that "slavery" wasn't the issue dividing the leadership of the North and the leadership of the South.

The Northern controlled congress passed the "Corwin Amendment" which would have made slavery permanent in the United States. They offered the South all the protection for slavery that was possible.

But what they would not tolerate is the South governing itself.

Independence from the Controlling Northern majority was not going to be allowed, and *THAT* is what the two sides fought over.
