The confederacy would have ended the slave trade on its own, they already were making plans to end the importation of new slaves. The civil war was a totally unnecessary evil.

That doesn’t immediately end the evil of slavery. Southern Pride shouldn’t cloud your judgment about Democrat Party evil. They were evil then, and are evil now. Enjoy your forced vaccination, “citizen.”

Longstreet actually believed they should have freed every slave, then fired on Sumter.

By federal law, the importation of slaves ended in 1808.

And with agricultural technology advancements over the 40 years after the Civil War, slavery would have died on it's own. Why would you need people to do what tractors can 1000 times more efficiently?
