The US was not the only country that had slavery at the time of the Civil War. Within a generation or two after the US Civil War ended slavery died a natural death under international pressure in the other nations where it existed in the Western Hemisphere, such as Cuba and Brazil. If the Civil War had never happened and slavery still existed in the US in the late 1800s, it would have also ended in the US around the same time. It would have cost less for the government to compensate slave owners for their slaves than it did to fight the war, and 620,000 men would have had to die some other way than in the war.

How did cotton influence the development of slavery in the South before and during Civil War?
Cotton influenced the development of slavery in the South before and during the civil war by creating a larger and larger need for manual labor in the south that the residents could not fill to make a profit on cotton. Back then cotton was "King" in the south and there was high demand from other European nations for it. The obvious answer for this problem was to find more men willing, or forced to, do manual labor. So, instead of taking in 11 million illegal immegrants like we do they used slavery to fuel there cotton buissness. By:Genious

If their cotton trade depended on slavery, then slavery could be seen as a God-given arrangement of man and master.
