I think some historians question whether US would have given up slavery earlier.

Lots of other nations -- Haiti, Mexico, British colonies -- gave up slavery earlier. No reason to think USA couldn't.

Solid argument to be made that you'd have a civil war a few decades earlier, I think.

Slavery existed throughout western hemisphere, but only USA required civil war to end. Why?

Haiti had a war to end it, I think.
