throwaway123x2 speculated that the South would have joined the Axis.
I mentioned that that is not a guarantee. And that if his reasoning was the slave trade, then there are issues with that line of thought. Because there are.
I made a plea for empathy and suggested that just because a society has made mistakes doesn't make them "evil".
You decided to argue the semantics of me saying "one immoral act".
I was the one arguing for a view of history that isn't some "Manichean battle of good and evil". And I don't see how any of my posts do anything but that.
People who say "there should be a rule" don't really want to argue points. And maybe if you don't want stupid words in your mouth, don't say them.

And regardless of whether that is true or not, my even greater point is that the USA and CSA would likely have found themselves on opposite sides of the conflict and fought a war on the North American continent that would have not only caused much greater loss of life, but also prevented either state from helping an isolated Britain in Europe, greatly improving chances of a Nazi triumph there.
