What would have happened if the Union allowed the Confederacy to secede?

[ElmerMudd]

No it didn't. It didn't free a single slave. It didn't apply in Union controlled territory, and it couldn't be enforced in Confederate territory. Furthermore, it was unconstitutional.


Wrong.


Not immediately. They would have been freed in a few years.



No, you claimed Northerners fought to free the slaves. You claimed that was their purpose when the fact is that it was purely an unintentional by-product.

Again, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave. We aren't discussing the 13th Amendment. Moving the goal posts is a common tactic with progs when the can't back up their obviously wrong claims.

The north abolished slavery for the confederacy states with the Emancipation Proclamation that set the basis of the 13th amendment ratified in 1865, abolishing tslavery in the union.
End result the north, Lincoln and Republicans abolished slavery in the US, legally.
You are blabbing manusha. You sound like Bill Clinton; " it depends on the meaning of is"

What would have happened if the Union allowed the confederacy to secede in 1860?
150 years later, the old confederate states are dominated by racism and are not in sync with the majority of the Union.
In 1860 they were Democrats, in 2022 they are Republicans but the morals and government desires of the South have not changed.
Should we jettison the old confederacy, plus a few other states, from the Union in 2024?

Yeah I say we let them secede. Every year when the south gets hit by storms and hurricanes we can just let them bail their own selves out.

That would be the equivalent of the American president abolishing the communist party in China. Such an act is obviously meaningless. The 13th Amendment didn't need a "basis."

Abolishing slavery was the end result of winning the war. That would have happened Emancipation Proclamation or not.

You're a brain damaged idiot. There isn't a shred of logic in any of your moronic theories about the Civil War.
