    The war was more between two giant economic interests, not an indological one. If it was they would deal with the losing side, not kept their statues in official federal buildings, etc.

    And natives didn’t prosper that much after the civil war.

    So yes, USA got away with it, generational wealth remained mostly intact, only southern enterprises lost some of their revenue (bcs paychecks or no labour).

    A future civil war could be between two billionaires, like it was between kings.
