So all the nasty realities go again
So all the nasty realities go away and its Scarlet and Ashley all the way down; got it.
Best,
Again, ignoring the OP, wherein the states peacefully secede.
But even then, the minority of soldiers who owned slaves, weren't doing so for ideological reasons. The value of slavery was in the slaves themselves; once the technologies and practices of the 2nd Industrial Revolution become widespread, slaves will lose value. The slave is what made the average Southern family wealthier than the average northern family. Once that is gone, the veteran trying to provide for his family will not care about keeping slaves, even if he lost a leg and his brother in battle for the right to have them. Slaves are mouths that need to be fed and bodies that need to be clothed and sheltered (however poorly). If they're not being productive, there's no point in having them.
The C.S had the right to suppress insurrections and provide military for assistance to the states, upon request. And the Confederate government could and did raise taxes for the payment of its staff.
