Was Slavery Dying in 1860?

CMWinkler · 2018-07-31

The 1st Amendment, free immigration, and railroad development in the Midwest and Pacific West, were all anti-slavery policies. The weight of economic growth in the US would have put unrelenting pressure on slavery. Secession does not solve the problem, it only makes the Confederacy like a northern Brazil. The British continue to suppress the slave trade, and they eventually find correct alternatives to American cotton. The alternatives could be as simple as silk, linen and wool. They could be Egyptian of Indian cotton. It may be more complex as in encouraging one or more states in North America to convert to free tenancy to grow cotton for the world market.
