The South was supposed to call on Great Britain for aid, and as a result war would be poured out upon all nations; slaves would revolt; the inhabitants of the earth would mourn; famine, plague, earthquake, thunder, lightning, and a full end of all nations would result. The South finally did revolt in 1861, but the slaves did not rise up, war was not poured out upon all nations, there was no worldwide famine, plague, earthquake, etc., and there was no resulting "end of all nations."
Ayon kay Smith, hihingi ng tulong ang South Carolina sa Britanya at dahil dito magkakaroon umano ng digmaan sa lahat ng bansa,mag-aaklas ang mga alipin; mananangis ang lahat ng tao sa mundo; magkakaroon ng tag-gutom, mga salot, lindol, kidlat, kulog at magwawakas ang lahat ng mga bansa. Nag-aklas nga ang South Carolina noong 1861 ngunit hindi nag-aklas ang mga alipin, hindi nagkaroon ng digmaan sa lahat ng bansa, hindi nagkaroon ng tag-gutom, mga salot, lindol, kidlat, kulog at hindi nagwakas ang lahat ng mga bansa sa mundo.
