The South would have eventually abolished slavery, but of course at a later date.
Interestingly enough, Breckinridge (sp?) almost won Oregon. Lincoln only won with 36% of the vote.
I think it's very possible that the Pacific Coast would form its own nation, probably two.
I almost wish the Union kept up with the equal number of slave-free states thing. Except we got more slave states in Latin America! And eventually had to take over Canada to get more free states.
Ooh, we could take over the entire continent!
I do wonder how long it would have been until the South abolished slavery, though. I can't see it doing it early than the 1880s. I wonder if it could have gone onto to the 20th century!
And after that, what about civil rights? Similar time line as South Africa?
