This is sort of a prediction thread. Instead of the North winning in 1865, suppose the South won their independence and the war ended in 1865. What then? What happens to the territories out west that weren't states yet? How long would slavery have endured? Why and how would it have ended? For that matter, WOULD it have ended?
It probably would have ended when the blacks rebelled or when it became economically non-feasible to support slaves.It would have ended when Chuck Norris said so
Well, when you consider that most Southerners didn't want them to have any equal rights after emancipation, I think you are correct. It took almost 100 years after emancipation before Blacks even sniffed the beginnings of any meaningful rights. And many were murdered trying to attain them.Very interesting question. I believe it would have lasted for several more years, maybe until WW1 or WW2.

Actually won National Championships with and without black players equally. Really, not all people in the South discriminate, as some sate.It would have ended when Bear Bryant realized he needed faster running backs to win national championships

The South would not have survived long on its own. By 1865 its infrastructure had been destroyed, civil society was in chaos, tens of thousands of people were all but homeless and starving, and almost half of their slaves had run off and would not have been returned. The states squabbled among themselves and with the central government in Richmond. Its currency was near worthless, and not one single foreign nation had recognized the Confederate States of America as France, Holland, and Spain had done for the U.S. in 1778. As for the western territories, France had 50,000 troops in Mexico and could have marched into Texas or Arizona virtually unopposed, and if the Confederacy sent what was left of its armies west they'd have been annihilated either by the French or by the Indians.This is sort of a prediction thread.
