One of my friends who was a professors said that the civil war was so costly (look into Lincoln printing fiat greenbacks and struggling to pay for union side) that the North could have purchased each slave from the South at a premium price, handsomely compensating each southern slave owner. Or the union could have subsidized more modernized Industrial equipment or cut the South in.
But like I said. I think modern history is fake and narrated and that the war was not primarily over slavery despite that being the way it is narrated and framed today with cherry picked evidence and speeches to frame the election and feud of that time.
