> However, if the Confederates has succeeded, there’s a good chance they would have ended slavery [citation needed] do you have some sort of source to back this claim up?

The south was notorious for avoiding investment into public infrastructure like roads, rail, foundries, etc. Why would they enter into a civil war over slavery if they were “about to give it up” anyways? This take flies counter to everything I’ve read about the confederate south
