Can anyone think of a situation similar to what occurred in Haiti with a slave population successfully revolting and throwing off their masters in the US?
Of course there are demographic differences between the two, however there were many regions in the south where the slave population out-numbered the whites. Perhaps those regions becoming de-facto autonomous? If this happened in the mid-1850's let's say would the federal government have even tried to intervene to restore slavery?
