Anybody willing to wager that even if the South had won this Country today would still be one big fuggin mess.
And for the record, the North won because they controlled the Navy and most of the factories needed to supply a war. The South won many of the early battles as equipment was readily available, and it's damn near impossible to beat someone on their own turf. As the Souths supplies ran down the North gained the upper hand. Had the South had equal access to equipment it's doubtful the North would have defeated them on their own ground.
Likely would have ended as a stalemate.
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. Thomas Jefferson
