That's a good example. To the extent that overt slavery was abolished that was a beneficial development. On the other hand, the civil war wasn't all about slaves. It also resulted in the consolidation of economic power in the hands of a few "elite" central bankers. This, in turn, has resulted in the virtual enslavement of a large swath of the population to a system of perpetual indebtedness.
