I think the conflict would have been deferred but there would have been no lasting peace. There were Unionist regions in the South and pockets of Confederate sympathy in the North that would have been sources of contention. But mainly it would have been impossible for two distinct social systems to coexist. One region based on the American ideals of liberty and the other based on the Assyrian ideals of slavery. It was a good thing for the South that the Confederacy was beaten when it was, because in a later conflict the Union would probably not have been as gentle with the CSA as an independent nation as they were with an internal insurrection.
the coming of animal & steam drawn devices DOOMED chattel slavery, as mules/oxen/horses & tractors work CHEAPER than people. (kill the PROFIT & every commercial institution DIES!)
fwiw, this weekend i went to a southside VA town (on a religious retreat)& actually stood next to a 1851 MOLINE Steam Traction engine (located in the City park), which according to the placard from the Virginia Historical Commission, "would do the same or greater amount of work as a HUNDRED & FIFTY LABORERS, working with hand tools" AND "the machine was retired from ACTIVE USE & placed on fixed display in October, 1948". (emphasis: MINE)
so much for the OUTRIGHT LIES of the LEFTIST/REVISIONISTS, who claimed on several threads that the "Steam Traction Machines" either did not work and/or they were "Primitive & UNusable"!
i guess the "bottom line" is that certain of the damnyankee coven's "sources" which claimed otherwise either do NOT exist and/or the "poster" wasn't intelligent enough to understand his/her "source" to the contrary.
rotflol AT THEM!
