Alternate history is a fun game to play. "What would have happened, if....."
Saw a great article on "What would have happened if Pickett's Charge succeeded?" The author thought everything would have worked out just fine and there would have been no animosity between North and South and slavery would have vanished by itself with no Jim Crowism in the south and everything would be hunky-dory.
Reality is that if the North had to sue for peace in 1863 there would have been another war within 10-20 years as they battled over western expansion.
