I agree that political pressure in the north and Britain would have had those countries eventually put very high tariffs on southern goods, and the Confederacy would have needed to be a police state to keep slaves from escaping to the north or west. The north's navy would also block any attempt at a resumption of the slave trade.And internally within the Confederacy, slavery would have seen competition from cheap hired labor, and also many citizens would have seen it as a system benefiting the landowning classes only while keeping non-slave owners poor. But those forces could have taken decades before the Confederacy gave up on slavery. |
