i think yes, during the civil war, tons of new technology was developed. true that the American Civil War had the largest death count than almost every war America has been in combined, (because both the North and the South's deaths were counted and because both sides were Americans). But without the civil war, the gatlin gun (aka the machine gun), the hand gernaid, and the first metal boats were made, not to mention the Cotton Gin and many other things that would later help us in war. Side: yes

Despite unsuccessfully seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 1844, 1848, and 1852, Buchanan was nominated in the election of 1856 as a compromise between the two sides of the slavery issue; this occurred while he was away on business. His subsequent election was largely due to the even more divided state of the opposition. Thus, as President, he could have convinced both sides that slavery was wrong and the war wouldn't been fought. Side: No
