Kinda' a nice "what i"f scenario but I think you need to do a little research on slavery - who instituted it - who profitted from it, and why it was a dying institution long before the Civil War. While you're at it you might look at what caused the Civil War and over what issues there was disagreement - States rights and the differing views on interpretatation of the US Constitution regarding state's rights were the issue - not slavery. You might also look at what was laughingly referred to as "Reconstruction"- while you're at it look at the Reparations Act that followed WWI - and compare both of these to WW II's Marshall Plan. There are ways to rebuild things, and then there is pure vengence and revenge. Just depends on which ultimate result you're after.
