In your opinion, has war worked as a strategy or is it time to move on to something else?

I will never, ever say that the two World Wars weren't necessary.

Having said that, I agree that most northern soldiers -- especially at the beginning -- did not think they were fighting against slavery. But southerners knew
that's why they were fighting, and they started the war!

You just paid 50% tax on your crop and can't even drive your buggy after a rainstorm..to the northern bastards with nice roads, bridges, etc... |

The poor south had it so bad. They just wanted freedom from federal law. Ironic that.

Only one Southern state attempted to secede due to tariffs (I assume that's what you mean by taxes) -- South Carolina in the early 1830s. When the rest
seceded in 1860 it was b/c Lincoln was seeking to halt slavery's spread to the territories.
