I am positing that the Union Army proves more successful than OTL, and forces the Confederacy into submission within two years. As a result, there has not been an Emancipation Proclamation as of the end of the war. What is the next step? Is an end to slavery feasible at this point, or is it too likely to cause tensions to explode again? Would Lincoln be likely to take the chance? If slavery is not banned at the end of the war, what is its likely future? How big a future tinderbox would be the loss of 200,000+ Americans with no resolution of the slavery issue?
