Thinking of a scenario where the United States was divided, but there wasn't a war. A resolution which kicked-out all states who failed to free slaves by January 1, 1860 (or insert alt date). Thus the Emancipation Proclamation in this case carries a different meaning.
Would the number of states (given the ultimatum of freeing slaves) equal that of those who actually seceeded?
Where would the border states likely end up?
How does Texas react in this situation?
What is the impact on both nations with the split, but without the bloodshed?
What are the international implications for both countries?
How does this effect expansion and settlements of western territories?
Thanks in advance!
