What I'm saying with slavery, is that had we let the Confederacy exist, who knows how much longer slavery would have existed.
By the way -- slavery was a central issue to westward expansion before the Civil War, and was the central issue during the Civil War.

Slavery would not have been abolished under the Confederacy.
Before the Civil War, the Southern states wanted to aggressively expand the institution of slavery in the western territories, Nicragua, Cuba, and Mexico. ... This is the reason why slavery was the central issue, rather than tariffs.
