I'm sure that's true as well! But they didn't.

Do you ever wonder what the country/ies would be like now if the Civil War had ended differently? I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.

Read Harry Turtledove. He has developed the most-complete reverse-outcome U.S. Civil War counterfactuals that I know of.
