- When the polity truly desires changes, they will demand them of their politicians even using force if necessary -- and this is what happened in the Civil War, the outcome of which was the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments.

- The civil war is a story which depicts not the depravity and resistance of Americans to abolition, but the general tendency toward respect for the sovereignty of the individual: it's not often pointed out, but the north had, by some sources, 10 times the economic and productive power, and a much larger army, than the south. The majority of the force of the civil war was on the side of abolition and the south was vastly outnumbered, outgunned and under-resourced. This points to the idea that the majority of Americans were at least sufficiently pro-abolition, that when forced to make the choice, they preferred abolition over the continuance of slavery. - The civil war is a story which depicts not the depravity and resistance of Americans to abolition, but the general tendency toward respect for the sovereignty of the individual: it's not often pointed out, but the north had, by some sources, 10 times the economic and productive power, and a much larger army, than the south.
