As for the Civil War. Lincoln was right. Davis was wrong. It was the South that couldn't abide by the Constitutional process that was on its way towards eliminating its "beloved institution". Had Davis and his cronies succeeded, The United States would not exist, and its former states on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line would be sucking hind-tit to the rest of the world or back under British colonial rule - which is why they backed the South.

We'll forever disagree on this...I believe if Davis and his cronies had succeeded, slavery would have been abolished with a more graduated and more peaceful desegregation of the races and once that had been accomplished more of the Northern States would have seceded to join the Confederacy. The exception being the Northeast, which would have devolved into a fascist nation not unlike Hitler's Germany.

Yes we will. Fortunately we'll never know for sure. A United States of will Always be better than a divided one. Besides, name a better country than this to live - even with its current flaws.
