I'm new here, but I will post my thoughts here.
Yes, I wish the south would have won. In my opinion, slavery would have ended naturally with the invention of mechanical reapers and farm equipment. The biggest reason I wish the South would have won the war is that I do not believe the South as a nation would have turned its back on God the way the United States has.
I feel the South would have maintained their constitution. I'm sure that there would have been some power hungry folks who would have tried to do what Lincoln did, but I feel the people of the South would have been strong enough to fight it.
Economically, the South would have been by far the strongest agricultural nation in the world. This area was blessed by God with many natural resources. Agriculture would have been the main product for the Southern Nation, but I think we would have had a great base for industry, and with the oil reserves that is off the Gulf Coast, in Arkansas, and in Texas, we could have very possibly been one of the dominant oil producing countries in the world. We have the best hunting lands in the country. We have the best catfishing in the country. I'm born and raised in Mississippi, so I like my catfish.
