wrong. If slavery had continued there would likely have been a lot less technological advancement.
Slavery wouldn't have continued. Slave owners stated win or lose the slaves would be set free after the war. It's a shame they didn't do it before the war ended so that Abraham Lincoln couldn't make it an issue. It was more about taxes and state rights than slavery, but here we are today paying the price.

What happened to the south at the hands of the federal government before and most importantly after the War of Northern Aggression can’t be understated.
The traitors brought every bit of it on themselves too. The US government went light compared to the punishment those terrorists actually deserved. Little too much mercy iyam, but then the northerners possesed something that the confederate supporters then (and today) lack, empathy for their fellow human.

Could you point me toward a historical study that shows this? I am genuinely curious.

That whole post seems like bad bait to me. For someone to be that willfully ignorant to actually believe that nonsense in the year 2020 you would have to plant your head so firmly in the ground that you'd be the Excalibur of dumbasses

Atlanta quite literally burned to the ground.

It started here one day going down a rabbit hole.
The idea of freeing slaves started with the Revolutionary War. Not all slavery was equal. Larger plantains were more strict and cruel, while smaller houses with a few slaves were almost like family.

Okay well that's great that they thought about it, doesn't change the fact that nearly a full century later half the country was ready to secede, go to war, and send an entire generation of their sons off to die in an attempt to hold onto to the practice

Okay, and? What point are you trying to make here?
No matter what way you want to try and spin it, it's still slavery and it's still evil. Is this really the hill you want to die defending?

For more than an hour Sherman expressed his agitation about the evils secession would bring about, until finally, he exploded with an outburst (quoted by Shelby Foote in The Civil War: A Narrative. Fort Sumter to Perryville) that was prophetic in its accuracy:

Wasn't slavery specifically enshrined in the Confederate constitution and/or the constitutions of the member states?
