Re: two questions about Slavery in the US
Would that result have been reached by now?
That's as sketchy as saying if slavery were used in the northern states (also avoiding the civil war), it would still be in use today.
States were fiercely independent and competitive. The "country first, state second" mentality wouldn't have been able to take hold.
At least, I can't see how. Like I said, what other issues could have unified enough states to form a strong centralized government? I think we'd resemble something much closer to the EU (much more conservative, though).
