With stronger states, we wouldn't be in as big a mess as we are today.

And the continued existance of slavery would be such a small price to pay for avoiding that. </sarcasm>

are you REALLY that DUMB??? or are you just a troll???

slavery was DYING an un-lamented natural death by 1860, due to changes in agriculture.

slavery would have ended, absent the WBTS, within a generation & perhaps within 3-5 years.

considering that the WBTS cost a MILLION LIVES, that seems a REALLY high price to hasten slavery's natural end, especially given that MANY THOUSANDS of the civilian victims of the union army were slaves.
