No, the north would have eventually been able to legislate it out.

I think otherwise. It was a struggle of worldviews. The institutionalization of slavery made it morally acceptable, and perhaps morally beneficial, to own slaves. I don't think slavery would exist today. But another war would have to be fought, or secession.

Edited by Lord Commissar: 4/29/2014 8:13:23 PMMore and more states were opting to become free states. The reason the south seceded was because they feared that the rest of the nation would end up forcing them to abolish slavery through congress. The institution of slavery was vital for the wealthy land owners in the south and ridding the nation of the practice would deeply cut into their profits, that and the good old fashion racism which was proudly displayed in their articles of secession.
