@DrWatson I didn't think about this when I commented, but slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833. So if America were not yet independent, slavery would have ended here a lot sooner than it actually did, without a civil war, without reconstruction , and without people today flying Confederate flags from their pickup trucks celebrating "southern culture."
