Yes, but it would still exist in the Confederacy, would become untenable, result in a hostile, failing state and THAT would have mass death and destruction.
Also, I assume you're not implying it would have been better for slavery to still exist in the southern states rather than end it via violence.

To quote my edit that you would have unfortunately missed: neither a safety net nor a parasitic welfare state is socialism.

That's literally the definition, I'm sorry. It's not "Parasitic" to ensure that your citizens are taken care of enough to participate in society to their full potential. Everyone wins.

More resources? I don't know about that. I'm not going to pretend I know whether the current funds are sufficient or not. Better redistributed resources and a DoE that actually functions is more what I was getting at.
