VP Beast Butler?

[Wild Bill]

The Compromise of 1850 was critical in the outcome of the Civil War. Had the war began in 1850, the South would have had a better chance to win. Ten years later the North had become the beneficiary of German and Irish immigration, and the development of the industrial might that became its ace in the hole in the war of attrition. There was also no Republican party or any equivalent. Just my feeling.
