Why do you think the Confederacy would have been peaceful if left alone? Judging by the Brooks beating, I honestly don't think the South would've been peaceful. Considering that, what if the South drew the North into war? We'd then have the lawful overtaking of the sovereign Confederate nation. How is that better than what happened?
