The southern Confederate melt is the greatest losing melt in history.
I love the south but the clinging to a completely failed and moralely flawed loss is a little wierd.
I find it weird also and I say that as a southerner that would have fought for the south. Why, because the north invaded the south and the reason really doesn't matter when your life and family are under threat.
With that said, I think we are much better off today because of the norths victory. I think you have to be a sorry sob to believe any other outcome with the south prevailing would be somehow beneficial to mankind. I don't even know if it would have been possible to win WWI or WW2 with a divided north and south.

Again, how can anyone say slavery would have just gone away when the South placed slavery as its cornerstone of their Constitution? I believe a reduction in slaves would certainly happen between 1860 and the 1950's but there would be a fundamental problem in taking away slavery in the south and that's because it was a god given right in the souths eyes. Plus this was a primary reason for leaving the United States in the first place.
Not as many slaves probably would be needed during the 20th century in the fields but free labor inside other business sectors would have been beneficial.
