Tried to make a worlda of this:I don't know if anyone has ever drawn a complete coast to coast map, but this gives you an idea (1770s)
Isn't some of that owned by superpowers like Britain and France?View attachment 367222
The Golden Circle, the Confederacy's imperial ambitions to seize the world's cotton and sugar supplies, creating what they called a tropical empire. Naturally, all of these would be slave states.

Did someone literally say that part about slave auctions in Boston?Considering some fire-eaters thought they could someday win the ideology war so bad WITHIN America so much they'd be "selling slaves in Boston Common" one day, I think we can safely assume "connected to reality" is not an apt descriptor of the Slaveocracy pre-and-during-the-Civil War.

Otherwise known as: "Aren't you glad this didn't happen?"
Incidentally, if we're going for full claims, note that Southern slavocrats already claimed this before the CSA was ever a thing, and tht their ambitions included Kansas, all of Arizona (you only have them claim OTL's "Confederate Arizona", but they wanted the northern half too, up to OTL NM/Arizona's northern border) and a proposed Southern Californian slave state (often called "Colorado" in ATL, because of the river, making it a likely name) which would be everything south of that same OTL NM/Arizona northern border, just extended west to the Pacific. Also, while claims in South America were never defined, the implication was very much "everything we can grab", so the idea of them intentionally leaving Venezuala a coastline strikes me as improbable.

After much more searching, I found this image in the appendix of a PhD Thesis by Mark Drummond at the University of Canberra, which is available online. The original image is from a pamphlet from the 1920s, but shows the borders of the provinces/states proposed by Griffith in 1888.
I'm putting this here so that in future this information will be slightly easier to find for someone interested.
Cross-posting from a thread I started asking about the borders of a federal Queensland.
Mark Drummond's PhD Thesis also includes an appendix with numerous other proposed divisions of Australian colonies/states.
Do you have a link to the thesis?
It can be found using Google and I didn't put the link as I can't remember site policy on posting links to obscure websites, but as you asked: http://members.webone.com.au/~markld/PhD/thesis.html
The part I refer to is Appendix 2A: Australian New State Proposals.
