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.
That statement doesn't quite make sense. It was the North that had the 4 to 1 population advantage, and it was mostly the South that had the slaves. (There were five Union slave states.)
The South would have won if they didn’t have slaves, period.
Having five Union slave states didn't stop the Union from winning, so what makes you think having slaves made the difference between winning and losing?
I think having 4 times the population to feed into a murderous meat grinder is the deciding factor in winning a war like that.
But likewise there would never have been a war if they didn’t have slaves.
Well this is true, but not in the manner you would have us believe. The Union did not invade the South because of slavery, the Union invaded the South because the South was going to cut off the power brokers of the North from the income they had been receiving from slaves producing exports to Europe.
The Northern power brokers in New York and Washington DC (same evil vile bastards we are fighting against today) were receiving 60% of all the revenue produced by slave labor in the Southern states. Washington DC received *MOST* of it's revenue from export goods produced by slave labor in the South, and between the New York shipping, warehousing, banking, insurance and other industries then feeding off the slave produced goods, New York was getting about 40% of the total production value from the slaves, and Washington DC was collecting the other 20% in tariff values, almost all of which were collected at the port of New York.
So yeah, without the slaves, there would have been no money for the wealthy corporate interests in New York and the corrupt influence peddlers in Washington DC to fight over.
But it was primarily the money they were fighting over. Nobody had any intentions of freeing the slaves till nearly two years after the war had already started.
They wanted that money, and they didn't care about the slaves until it later became politically beneficial for them to do so.
