Slavery in the U.S. was going to have to end one way or the other. Lincoln realized this, but had no real Constitutional way to do it. Even after the Civil War had begun, there was no legal way for him to touch slavery in areas not actually in rebellion against the Federal government. Read the text of the Emancipation Proclamation.
How to end slavery peacefully and Constitutionally is hardly ever considered. Great Britain actually paid slave owners in their colonies to end slavery there. How long it would have taken for this to be politically feasible, no one knows. Taxpayers who don’t own slaves paying higher taxes to free the slaves...? Few opposed slavery that much.
Negotiation could well have prevented the war, but as for ending slavery, I don’t know. But it appears that many blacks believe the world and history revolves around them and them alone.
