You mean the 2nd war for Independence that failed?
#3 will be the tie breaker.
Sometimes called the 3rd War for Independence. ;-)
“The War of Northern Aggression” some call it..
When I was a kid in the 1950s, my grandparents cared for our oldest family member, a great great uncle who’d been with the 18th Arkansas Infantry Regiment. Several times I was the recipient of war stories from this civil war veteran. I never got to hear a Rebel Yell from him.

You betcha!!
There are good reasons to go to war and bad reasons to go to war. The south may have had a right to secede but it was for a wrong, immoral reason. In either way it’s a joke to think either side would have gotten along peacefully after this. Further the plantation system was dying in the face of industrialization and would have petered out and then what would have been the point of expensive to maintain slaves?
