Doyle, your "no" is a hypothesis. I think there is a strong case for it. But not ironclad. Even the emancipation proclamation was no more than a war measure and applied only to enemy territory. Does anyone seriously believe that slavery would have ended sooner but for half-measures like the election of Lincoln in 1860 and the emancipation proclamation of 1863? Is there no dialectic?
