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.
U.S. Civil War postings were journaled by William Clark Newlon as he and the Third Iowa traveled through Missouri and Tennessee. His great grandson, Chris Newlon Green, began the arduous task of transcribing Will's two wartime diaries in 1998. That work is complete and available in PDF. Other postings are Chris' ideas and experiences, WWI and Vietnam.
