The reason that the South lost so decisively was because slavery kept them from modernizing.

Nope. It was the 4 to 1 manpower advantage the northern armies had, and the Southern armies almost beat them anyway.

Ok... The reason the had such a population advantage was that they didn’t have as many kids... because they didn’t need as many kids... because they had slaves to work the farm.

The South would have won if they didn’t have slaves, period. But likewise there would never have been a war if they didn’t have slaves.
