i was recently asked a really smart question at a lecture i gave at a local community college class on the WBTS:

"Had the south won their was for independence, what would have happened to slavery in the immediate post-war period??

i said that (in my OPINION) that:

It would have been politically IMPOSSIBLE for slavery to long survive, given the HONORABLE & BRAVE service of over 100,000 Black FREEDOM FIGHTERS. additionally, the coming of the Industrial Revolution to agriculture would have QUICKLY killed the profit in slavery & the time would have NOT been far off when "'ole massa" would have called "his people" together & said: "I can't afford to feed & house you anymore. There is the road. Get on it by sundown!" (this end of slavery would have been "UGLY"!)

(my readers KNOW that i am NO fan of the slavers, as they "dealt in human flesh/suffering" & cared about NOTHING but $$$$$.)

The yankee method for ending slavery was far worse. He told the slave to go free and yanked the welcome mat when the ex-slaves tried to enter the yankee domicile.
