If you could please, demonstrate a causal relationship between destruction of the South and the things that you claim... Note, in order to do so, you have to demonstrate that no peaceful resolution to any one of your claims was possible.

Until then:

It was a good thing that another attempt to overthrow the government has not been attempted.

It was a good thing the inhumane institution of human slavery was, in this country, snuffed out.

It was a good thing the vital principle of constitutional rule was upheld, restored by later patriots.

It was a good thing that a "balkanized" North America never came into being.

It is an especially good thing the founding principles of "all men are created equal," and that they have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" actually continued were made to mean something.

The United States, today, is the greatest nation in the history of mankind, a beacon of liberty and freedom to the rest of the world.

An interesting interpretation. I see you continue to deny the founding principles of the American nation, espoused by Jefferson.
