By every measure, slavery was not just on the wane, its end was only a question of time and method ( already debated by many legislators ) would have likely varied by state & perhaps even by county. The rest is pure speculation-but what if! Suppose two entirely different societies had been allowed to evolve!

I would be very interested in hearing what you have to back up that claim. Can you show by any measure how slavery was on the wane in 1860? Can you show how it would have been possible under the confederate constitution that slavery could have varied by state, much less county?
