1832, just 29 years till the Civil War. Or will there be a war between the states in this alternate history?

With the advancement of technology, the South wouldn't need slaves, and thus, one of the reasons for the war might not happen. Or is the force of history and advancement too great to break?

You are absolutely correct, the rise of technology makes slavery uneconomical and it is officially ended in the United States in 1840. As a result, the Civil War never happens. Here is the post about that.
