Suppose the Confederacy had survived. (This is a new idea to me, I even admit it, and so it's really interesting, well for two minutes anyway, but I'm sure "you boys" have read on the subject, by so and so and someone else.) And we assume world civ would still have moved forward, duh, or not a simple duh, technology and all, as it has. Would there still be slavery in the South? The world? Would both regions have survived the world demons Lincoln sought to protect us from, divided? Huh? Huh?
It being the modern world, would slavery have been expanded to more egalitarian standards, to include white people, including women? (Outside the household.) I guess Roger what's his name bot some white slaves in Mississippi for his tv show. Legally. |
