One of the great errors of many Americans- that the Confederacy fought mainly for slavery. They fought for self-determination and state's rights...slavery was merely the poster child for it. Given a few decades, the slave economy would have collapsed under it's own weight. Heck, even if Booth hadn't plugged Lincoln, we might have had a far better Reconstruction. Instead, the South suffered and all the ol' Rebels claim martyrdom to this day. And I'm in Virginia, so it's Lee-Jackson day too.
Actually slavery for the largest part would become a mute issue with the invention of the cotton gin which could produce far more cotton for far less money than any slave could. You'd still probably have house slaves for years after but the end of slavery in the United States was set long before the civil war.
