and face it, we're all just guessing is that the world wouldn't look a whole lot different today had the south been let to peacefully secede.
I think the two most likely eventualities are that either the two sides would eventually rejoin or their would be three English-speaking friendly democracies in North America today instead of two.
Either way, not a big change from today's world.
I think slavery would have been ended gradually about the same time as Brazil ended it.
