>US did eventually get over slavery

"Get over" is a funny way to describe a war that was bloodier for the United States than WWII was for any Allied power. Please don't lump everyone in with the southern states.

US civil war: about 750.000 in a population of over 30 million (https://www.history.com/news/civil-war-deadlier-than-previou...), or 2½%.

World War Two, USSR: at least 20 million in a population of 205 million (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties_of_the...), or close to 10%.

World War Two, Poland: about 6 million deaths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties_of_Pol...) in a population of about 35 million (http://countrystudies.us/poland/27.htm) or over 17%.

The US civil war was bloody for the USA, but not bloodier than WWII for any Allied power.

You are including civilian casualties for other countries but not for the US? That's what I call a pro gamer move...

I now wonder if the Civil War was a mistake. Maybe Lincoln should’ve let the Confederates go their own way.
