The trick of course to any successful rebellion is to make the country you are rebelling against want to let you go in the first place.

Can you honestly say that the south would have been better off with country devoted to slavery under the democrats?

Slavery would have went away on it's own, just like it did up north. Atlanta would not be a yankee occupied city. And we would not be subject to commie/socialist influences of the yankee New England states. I prefer the Democrats of the 1860's--minus slavery, to what they have morfed into today.
