      Counter-historicals is always a crapshoot, but the U.S. was the only nation in the Western hemisphere apart from Haiti that needed violence to end slavery, so possibly there was an alternative. However, I view the American Civil War as the 3rd English Civil War, so I figure North

          and South would have ended up shooting at each other over something, anyway.

          The American Revolution was the real problem. It locked in the power of the planter elite & also ideology of Lockean property rights (providing basis for confederate worldview).

          The Confederate worldview was largely based on neo-feudalism, with the plantation economy standing in for the estate and slaves for serfs. Jefferson's Lockean gloss confuses causes in effect. The Confederacy had rationalizations, not reasons.

          This is an especially silly counter-history, because ot has to cover such a large time frame. There’s no 1 event to change and say “what happens from here?” How many years does emancipation take w/o war? 50? Does it wait until WW1?

          There was not, in fact, an alternative, and it’s historically ignorant to suggest otherwise.
