Nope, but pre civil war the American federal government said it didn’t have the power to force southern states to outlaw slavery.
If it wasn’t for the civil war, it likely would have taken a lot longer.
A lot of shit has changed since then, USA used to be more like NATO with each state being closer to a sovereign country.
Ironically the south started the civil war because they wanted a stronger federal government, and that was the result. It just wasn’t under their control.
Would that have been an issue if slavery had been made illegal already like in most of the rest of the Western world?
