Preserving the Civil War, cont.

Now, here we go with question #6 of Benjamin J. Stein back in October 2003 in “The American Spectator”.

So, here goes:

What would the South have been like if slavery had ended peacefully, as a result of moral awakening in the South, instead of through a bloody war?


Might the situation of blacks in America be better today? Might there have been no segregation, no Klan, no lynchings?

I just finished reading the book Killing Lincoln: the Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever on my Kindle. The film "The Conspirators" follows this book closely; I now understand the movie much better. In fact, I plan to get the movie thru Netflix and watch it again.  I couldn't put the book down though. It's a must read for anyone interested in the Civil War.
