| − | Personally, I don't think It would have been possible to avoid the Civil war at all. For one thing, the north and the south were so fired up at each other, that if we didn't have the war, we probably would still hate each other today. And for another, if the south got rich off of the south's profits, which built on the backs of slaves, they easily could have attacked the north. And what about the Africans themselves? Could we have just said "Eh, I don't fell like fighting today, and I hate getting my pants dirty. Those Africans can just stay put." and ignored them? I think that if we didn't have the war, the Africans could still be slaves in the south today, and the south would have completely succeeded from he union, and we wouldn't have our fifty states today. Or, even worse, the slaves would have been freed a different way, in more present times. I think that if the Cilvil war never happened, the chances that there could have been a modern day war against slavery are very high. And that could have been even more devastating then the Cilvil war, because now we have bombs, and tanks, and more updated weapons. I think it was a very important war. | + | Personally, I don't think It would have been possible to avoid the Civil war at all.
