Yes slavery was wrong but its reallt a moot point considering its would have been done away with before 1900 without a shot fired, much like Brazil

Easy to claim in retrospect, but you search in vain for someone in 1860 predicting that would be the case. What isn't hard to find is lots of statements by southern leaders saying that the reason they were seceding was because of the threat to slavery posed by Lincoln's election.

That doesnt change anything I said. The North still fought to impose a dictorial federal government.

Truth hurts but its still the truth.
