Achieving Independence from Great Britain without War would
have happened eventually too.


Not necessarily.

The US might instead have gone the route of Canada or
Australia, New Zealand, or, hmm...

The eventual, peaceful independence of the US would seem to have
been at least as inevitable as the eventual, peaceful end of slavery,
but neither would have come soon enough without war.
