slavery was abolished in the Western Hemisphere around the same time (give or take) as the Civil WAr.
I often wonder how long it would have survived if the South had been allowed to leave peacefully.
asked myself that a few times and I think within the next 30 years.
Attitudes were changing and lets not forget tat most in the south were not slave owners ,which some thing some forget like the elft forgets that there were black slave wowners
