Curious.
Have you ever studied American history- specifically the American Civil war?
Now, endless books have been written about this war- you can make a legal argument that the South had the right to leave the Union. You can argue that the war had nothing to do with slavery.
Could President Lincoln have avoided that war?
I think there is no doubt that he could have reach a peace agreement and avoided war- did Lincoln make a gross mistake by not taking this route?
You could probably successfully argue that evenually slavery would have ended.
It seems to me that preventing a war in the short term is fairly easy. And had Lincoln had known that so many Americans would have died in this rather "unneccesary" war and how uncertain the results were going to be- he might have choosen the safer course- at least kick the problem further down the road, hoping that an easier path may present itself.
But anyhow. What say you?
