I think that most people at this time in history would agree that slavery was a bad thing, and therefore it was good that the institution of slavery was brought to an end by the victory of the northern states. However, the Civil Was was tremendously destructive, so it could be argued that the price paid for the ending of slavery was too high. In theory, there might have been non-violent means to resolve the issue. We will never really know.
