Simple question really...
Would an America that established itself as a Constitutional Monarchy from the begining have been able to avert the Civil War?
• Is so, how?
• If not, why?
Please get into the all the "What if's" if you'd like
My Thoughts:
Almost certainly with the reason being that while Congress was impotent at dealing with the rising economic backwardness of slavery, a Monarch might have been able to at least establish a single narrative on inadequacies of the system (mostly on an economic basis as a means to not sound too radical).
Plus, secession could be labeled as act of sedition against the Crown, possibly giving pause to South Carolinans, Texans, Virginia's, etc voting for it.
