Considering the fact that a form of slavery continued well into the 20th century under the label "share cropping", I suspect that slavery would have continued.

Read the constitution as it regards states rights and you will see how much the federal govt has oversteped the Constitution *BIG* time. Not sure how things woud be now if the south had won - but IMO things would have been *very* different. I hope both N & S would have banded together to fight the Nazi's. Without a *United* states the germans would have taken much more time to defeat. All IMO of course. ;-) Larry T (66 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs ----- Original Message ----- From: "Royce Engler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 1:24 PM Subject: [MBZ] OT: Our Political System > andrew strasfogel wrote: >> Are there still reasonable people (emphasis) who believe the South should >> won the war to continue the practice of slavery?
