Paradox's latest grand strategy game, Victoria 3, is out in the wild now, and while it's ambitious, detailed, and beautiful to look at, it does have some problems. One of those is that the American Civil War, in which the southern slave states seceded in order to preserve their rights to own slaves, is fairly easy to avoid - you don't really have to fight it at all. Paradox says this issue is one of several that it's working on for its upcoming Victoria 3 patch.
