The battle lines had swung back and forth and it just wasn't worth the effort.

I wish today's politicians had that kind of sense.

It wasn't worth the effort at the time, but my question is with the benefit of hindsight was it worth the effort? I mean millions of people, generations of people were saved from a slave state and yet millions were also abandoned to it. Also it could have well become a quagmire or something much worse had we stayed and not even had made a difference.
