It could have easily happened. It was a bloody war with high casualties on both sides. Though over the course of the war, the North outnumbered the South 2 to 1. Either way, it could have happened. What do you think the world today would be like? It's hard to say what the west would be. I think my beloved state and most of the Southwest would stay in Mexico....though Southern California is pretty much Mexico anyway. Would we still end up an empire that instigates wars for no good reason?

The Southern states would still have slavery today with a contraceptive mandate to limit the numbers of slaves.
The South would have purchased the top of Mexico to establish a sea to sea nation.
Blacks seeking freedom in the north would be deported back.

Why would they do that? They bred the slaves. Once they bought them, they were able to keep their offspring, then use them as labor.Bruce » 20 Aug 2023, 2:36 pm » wrote: ↑ The Southern states would still have slavery today with a contraceptive mandate to limit the numbers of slaves.

Hardly any slaves today would be set loose running half million dollar tractors and cotton picking machines.
Owning a slave would mostly be a status symbol.
But if they were bred to unlimited numbers they’d be almost worthless.
The South would have had mass deportations of surplus slaves to Arfrica.

They still would have factories. They would be used in the assembly lines. Hell, Amazon would probably use them for their Warehouses. And Walmart.

LeBron would be making about $300.00 a week, the Kardashians would be working a street corner in Detroit.
