As it turned out, it ended up being one of the most wonderful things that ever happened to this country. IMHO
Freeing thousands from the bonds of human slavery is a wonderful thing! :)

The South would have ended slavery in time as well. Slavery was dying all over Europe. That's the only reason Britian and others did not help the south. Robert E. Lee was against slavery, he was fighting for his homeland. Lincoln set a horrible example by invading the south and making it be part of the Union. The old Soviet Union and others used Lincoln as reason to keep their territories from breaking away. US complained about that but it had no problem with Lincoln doing it.
