chattel slavery would have died an UNlamented death within 10-15 years MAXIMUM (my guess is 5-10 years) according to most scholars of Agricultural Innovation & the Industrial Revolution.
the FIRST WBTS was NOT about slavery either. it was nothing more or less than a war to "preserve the union" (for the North) OR a war for LIBERTY & SELF-determination (for Southrons).
BOTH lincoln, the tyrant AND US Grant said that the war was ONLY about PRESERVING the UNION. (NEITHER wanted to free the slaves. in point of fact, BOTH were stone racists of the robes & hood sort.)
sorry, but that too is FACT.

That was what Jefferson thought, 70+ years prior to the war. As it happens, however, chattel slavery was actually revived by the invention of the cotton gin. And, given the prevalence of black share-cropping after the war, it is obvious that there was still a very strong demand for the same type of labor that had previously been provided by slaves. Slavery would not have evaporated.

"LIBERTY," unless yout happened to be a black slave, in which case it was a war for your blessed Southrons to keep them in chains. History is clear on the main cause of the sectional tensions: it was slavery. Your southron legislatures even said so in their declarations of secession. And the great Sectional Crises were likewise about slavery.

True. However, your southrons said themselves that their war was about slavery. See the Declarations of Secession for documentary proof. (Not that you're swayed by actual, written facts, but it's fun to show you up as a dupe.)
(NEITHER wanted to free the slaves. in point of fact, BOTH were stone racists of the robes & hood sort.)
Blah blah blah... They were products of their times, and both eventually agreed that freeing the slaves was necessary and correct. The robes and hoods were introduced by the the southron Nathan Bedford Forrest.... You know that, of courst.
You're really quite pathetic, you know. There are plenty of ugly facts to go around in the Civil War. It's almost embarassing to watch you deny the ugliest fact of all.
