        @forcedexit @BeschlossDC @ericmetaxas Delayed the CW by 11 years. A Confederate victory was much more likely in 50.

        @murphy_rob @BeschlossDC @ericmetaxas Valid point. Lincoln still in disgruntled retirement from politics in 50, not ready to be POTUS.

        @forcedexit @BeschlossDC @ericmetaxas And all the northern industrial advantages much less pronounced and mattered less in 1850.

        @BeschlossDC Clay later went on to star as "Swimming Pool Corpse #1" in Spielberg's 1980's horror smash "Poltergeist." Or so he looks.
