Is this possible that after much bloodier and larger Civil War (maybe use of gas shells during battles and sieges, naval bombardment with poison gas in order to shorten war) some sort of pre-socialist party would emerge in US? I am thinking about something criticizing Unionists for brutality (gas, atrocities) and Southeners for secession while advocating equality, emancipation of women and black Americans, welfare and maybe creation of state-owned companies for unemployed people? Something like - "we Americans are brothers so we should help each other in order to create better society not killing each other".
