Yes there would have been a civil war because the Union
Government was pushing for certain issues that had nothing to do
with slavery. Even if the South would have won the civil war
slavery would have still ended. Slavery was just something brought
up in discussion of arguments on the Unions comments. And to make
note of something...if you read your history you will learn that
the majority of the south was poor and didnt own slaves anyway. So
slavery needs to be deleted as a reason the Civil War went on.
There are two aspects to be considered. Firstly, the reasons for
secession. These can best be referenced in the articles of
secession for the various states. Secondly, the reason for the
Union refusing to accept the secession. This can best be
appreciated from the reasons given by President Lincoln.

Asked in History of England
Do you think if the South stayed in the Union would we be better off?
The South remained in the Union after the North won the American
Civil War and defeated the South in battle. It would have been
better if we had abolished slavery when we became a nation. The
Declaration of Independence said: All Men Are Created Equal. It was
an obvious double standard, in 1776, that while we said it, we
still had slavery in the colonies. It would have been better if we
could have abolished slavery by peaceful means, as England, France,
Canada and other nations did inspired by William Wilberforce and
Capt. John Newton's song Amazing Grace.
