If Lincoln had been shot in 1861, I believe the South & North would have worked out their differences, and slavery would have ended peacefully, though later on.

You know Tex, I really had never considered that aspect. I agree that slavery would have ended peacefully, as we both know it did worldwide, within a few decades at most.

That has been my whole contention here friend, but Lincoln is treated as GOD by some, so it is hard to get the point across. Good seeing you posting again old pard! Where have you been?
