So for the sake of clarity, do you agree with your friend that slavery would have died out in the South within 5 years?
Well, given that you projected FMA’s observations on me to start with I appreciate you actually asking what I think before condemning.
Five years? NO. Eventually, for sure. There is no reason to believe that the CSA would be the only civilized country in the western world to continue with slavery. How long would it have lasted...no telling. But forever, no way.
