does anyone really think that if the civil war did not happen blacks would still be slaves today?![]()
In Africa, Black Lives Have Never MatteredIt had to happen. you can't have a society where people enslave each other, or fragment into 2 separate counties.
I think slavery had to happen (stand) for Ratification - and the Civil War had to happen to correct that monstrosity.
One of the good things about the USA is it's ability to self-correct..
Not just slavery but voting rights, unions..things we need as a modernized egalitarian society.

Jackson was, at one time, our worst president.
I saw more of the video last night, Rump also claimed that Jackson was angry about the Civil War....
Rub a Dub Tubman
He's being replaced on the $20 bill by a coyote for gangbangers.
And how many more years of brutal enslavement would have been acceptable to you as a compromise for avoiding the war?
You guys defend everything Trump says. Wake up - it's embarrassing.
I doubt they would still be, but we would be far behind where we are today with the acceptance into society of former slaves.
Another week of slavery would not be acceptable to me.
Sorry, slavery is a moral issue and murdering as many of your people as possible to hasten its end is just cause for fighting a war. I hope your great great grandfather died legless, alone, slowly and in excruciating agony of gangrene without any opiates, southern traitorous vermin!

so in your calculus ending slavery 1 week early is enough to justify killing half a million people?
lets say 50 or even 100. Remember that half a million people died in the civil war countless other millions maimed. It doesnt seem far fetched that 50 more years of slavery would be preferable doesnt it?

Actually I don't believe that is true.
Since we both agree that it would have ended on its own accord then we can only predict what would have happened afterward.
Had the war not taken place all of the brutal actions caused by the North both before and after would not have transpired.
We probably would have never had the democrat party led KKK and the democrat party led Jim Crow laws.
While it is all hypothetical. It is worth discussion
NO, and I don't think that would have prevented the killing of half a million people. The war was going to happen. It might have been a lot better had it happened during Jackson's presidency than when it did.... Same number of people killed.... slavery ended much earlier.
Had the war not taken place America would have remained a weak Confederacy that would never have been capable of defending the world in WWI or WWII.
so if it was going to happen slavery or not it had nothing to do with slavery?![]()
