It's a matter of opinion, but I think slavery would have died out eventually with increasing mechanization of agriculture and realization by the plantation owners that paying someone by the hour is cheaper than supporting his entire family 24/7 for the rest of their lives.

Where does slavery still exist?

No slavery does not still exist in the US today. Slavery was over in 1865 in the US { but it does still exist in different parts of the world} after the Civil War. Former President Lincoln was the leader of the Civil War and he was the one who signed the bill to end slavery after the Civil War {so you can see that the Civil War was part of slavery}. If the north lost the Civil War slaves would probably still exist today and we would have more conflicts with the south. So remember slavery is over in the US, and it was over in 1865. But it still happens in different parts of the world. One example in the world which still has slavery is Asia.

If Lincoln did not issue the 13th would slavery still be going on this very day and why?

No. The US was not the only place with slavery, and it was not the last to end the practice. Many countries in Central and South America also had slavery. All ended slavery within a generation or two after the US Civil War ended. If the Civil War had not brought things to a crisis, slavery would have ended at around the same time in the US, if not sooner, due to international pressure. There is still slavery in the world, but its done very quietly, so as not to attract international outrage, in places like Haiti, and by our very best friends in Saudi Arabia.


How do you think the north and the south could have settled their differences without going to war?

no. both seemed too stubborn to ever give up their beliefs or ways of life. the south would have never given up slavery and we possibly could still have had slavery to this day. and lincoln wanted to end slavery once he was elected president so the civil war was unavoidable.


Would there have been a Civil War if slavery was abolished?

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.
