No I'm trying to find out why no war and slavery was better for slaves long term than the war and no slavery.

I'm conceding the end of slavery but I'm asking what happens next that makes you think the slaves were going to be better off.

Tell me, you have all the answers.

Are you telling me that you believe that the former slaves were better off after a devastating war, the south with no economy to speak of, facing reconstruction the effects of which are still being felt today.

vs

The south freeing slaves and assimilating them into society. A difficult but not unprecedented move.
