#3A better question would be what if the South outlawed slavery, and the horribly destructive Civil War had not happened?
What technology advances would have happened without the burning of half the nation, the 750,000 dead, the countless wounded, and the numerous rapes?

With the economic savings a nice check could have been cut to the Freedmen, and the country could have started the healing process.

#5Problem with this alternate history is that the largest union corps (6th) was not engaged at Gettysburg and so would be a very strong rearguard. Lee was on a raid and being in Pennsylvania north of the army of the Potomac would have been a risk. Food and horse feed, yeah, but it has to be sent south for the raid to be effective. And ammo has to come north. See https://www.amazon.ca/How-North-Won-Military-History/dp/0252...

#8Rebel army was starving. The war might have been prolonged, but the gross outcome was pre-ordained.

Well for one thing, West Virginia wouldn’t exist and instead the Appalachia would be supported by subsides of being part of a much larger and more prosperous state.
But to note, the Civil War had roots in the very nature of the nation as an discordant post-colonial state. After all, most (all?) countries didn’t devolve into a 50/50 civil war just to change policy on enslavement, indentured servitude or serfdom.
I’d go as far as to say the Civil War was the birth of modern America because it strengthened nationalist feelings, and empowered the federal government.
