re: #739 cliffster

That’s an interesting take on it - temporary fix while we get our moral ducks in a row.

Although I’m not big on the Aggression of the Northerners, and I think it was way more than just “Southerners want slaves”, I’m glad that neither side of the mason dixon line has had slaves in a very long time and it may not have happened without northern aggression.

Slavery would have gone away even without the war. It would have become unsustainable from an economic viewpoint. less agrarian society and increased machinazation (no I can’t spell)
