A little bit different- although i personally feel the Revolutionary War was fought for quite different reasons than the ones they give you in elementary school. We would have become much more independent with or without the war.

Now, as for segregation- no infrastructure problems- at least not the kind that Russia faced where there was hardly ANY framework on which to hang a new kind of government. With segregation, and even the ending of slavery- you were tweaking a PART of a civilization- NOT changing it completely. And of course the north already had no slavery- so it would be analogous ot having half of Russia already successfully free, democratic and capitalistic- not the case.

Your analogies suck.
