1. Don't sweat the details not many will know it here anyway. That is why I mentioned it but stated I wouldn't push because it would derail the TL. 2. Oh they could but they had more interest in Africa and China as a late comer to colonial empire building. It wouldn't allow them to send much...

1. The US didn't play a role in the suppression of the Boxers from which they used their large reparations following that to build schools in China and build new infrastructure. Some of which impacted important men in Chinese history like Liang Qichao. 2. Only problem is Germany lacked any...

Ok I see some interesting developments that are very unlikely in these posts but as I don't wish to spoil the flow I won't mention them as it is obvious they are the result of not knowing much of the detailed history and nature of the players and events involved. I will state this: China...

Well for immigrants coming for economical reasons the CSA emergence might have an interesting impact on the USA demographics. Just think the CSA might have won but now the US has borders that need guards, checkpoints, then it's likely Union loyalist and freed slaves came north. The locations...

Ok, but was South Americas number of immigrants on the same scale as the USA or was it lower or greater? Remember the USA won't just be offering jobs but land/homes, freedom/voting, and opportunities to start their own enterprises. Can the CSA compete?

The European immigration and the immigrants not invested in slavery is why I brought up the CSA's part in their Constitution about not allowing those not born in the CSA to vote in an earlier post. People not born in the Confederacy cannot vote for politicians. That amendment pretty removes...

The CSN would be coming too late to the game to get any territory in the Pacific that doesn't step on a great power's toe. So even with a Pacific coast not much in the way of coaling stations, very few bases, and limited trading dominance in Asia or the Pacific. Its best chance would be turning...

IDK TR was a monster that would have made Echidna proud to call her own he might have done it but that requires a whole other kettle of fish as it wouldn't be happening during any recognizable Spanish American war. In any real sense it seems ASB to me for the US to get the Canaries and hold...

This would all happen around 1875-1885 for a CSA Mexico war right? The USA might have already bought Alaska, is having the Klondike Gold Rush, has an Oil industry well established thanks to the Pennsylvania Oil Rush, annexed the Dominican Republic due to the CSA victory and still having the...

Sea Lion is also in the realm of possibility if one cherry picks like a mad man. This is the most plausible scenario for Maximilian Mexico's rise to greater importance. The CSA would still not win but it might stale mate against Mexico too. Very well Operation Gulf Dixie is a GO!

I don't care how discredited a party is itself that won't send people flying to the party of traitors especially since most of them and their supporters are now Confederates, this would more likely open the door to a third partier or independent. Most of the Democratic base is in the CSA now...

How the heck does this take place with so many democrats leaving with the South and the party being seen as the party of traitors?:confused: Johnson was a fluke caused by Lincoln's assassination, there won't be redeemer democrats the party itself would likely not survive in the USA.

Actually this is pretty much what happened OTL. France and some other European states took the chance of the US being distracted by the ACW to send forces to collect repayment from Mexico but the others pulled out when France showed it wanted to secure Mexico for itself. It nearly succeeded but...

I can only wonder how early of a victory is the CSA suppose to have happened and how devastating a defeat for the US can this be to: A. Leave the CSA with enough manpower, no high inflation, minimum escaped slaves, little harm to its economy to produce at least a third of what was fielded...

How did they do this as it is illegal for the Confederate Government to "Facilitate Commerce" as per their Constitution? Wouldn't it have just been easier and cheaper to use slaves? Isn't it impossible to end slavery in the Confederacy without throwing out the old Confederate Constitution...

I am very surprised the US didn't annex the Dominican Republic* after a Confederate Victory with a surviving Lincoln. It would have given them a port in the Caribbean, a location to settle many freed slaves from the Confederacy, another state** to replace some of what they loss, it also...

Honestly i made these points before as well and an argument for why the Confederacy most likely won't get the Indian Territory. Before the war and after the war are two different times. I see people don't klike the idea the Confederacy would have been overthrown by a slave rebellion but by...

Possible PODs: 1) Eastiest is Toussaint is not murdered. 2) Next Don't split off the Dominican Republic. 3) Haiti gets a larger piece of the island than in OTL if the DR does split off. 4) The Dominican Republic gets annexed by the US. 5) Haiti allies with the US in the Spanish...

First remember many of the black Union freedmen soldiers are fighting for the end of slavery but also to liberate their follow blacks. WEB Du Bois is a prominent Black leader in the North who supported calling them to arms. Many of the Black Union soldiers are escaped slaves from the South...

This assumes they get the Indian Territory in the peace deal and many of the tribes were pro Confederates. You might want to read some of my later posts on this subject on why it is unreasonable. In fact it might cause the Black Union soldiers in the North to go AWOL and march on the south...
