Interesting thread. It would appear that the South erred by ever joining the Union in the first place. It is clear that the issue of slavery was a contentious one from the get-go, and unlikely to ever have been resolved peacefully. A separate Confederacy established at the same time as the Northern Union might have prevented the War. Was this ever under consideration at the time that the Constitution came into being?
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.
