I do wonder what kind of reputation Earl Van Dorn would have had, had he not been murdered. Perhaps he could have been the guy to give Nathan Bedford Forrest's reputation a run for it's money.

In Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee they'd have to eventually accept it. The CS has won, and they are surrounded. The Unionist elements in Tennessee for instance will be the dominant opinion in Eastern TN, but with a very strong Pro-Confederate minority in that part of the state. The Home...

For the sake of arguement, the CS gets Kentucky in 1862. You'd have the Hatfield-McCoy feud almost starting The Second US-CS war. It would be a very rocky thing.

One thing I never see in Confederate TL's like this is the sort of quagmires of violence Kentucky and Missouri would turn into after a CS victory. If Kentucky goes CS and Missouri goes Union, you have Unionists raising hell in Kentucky and you still have the likes of Quantrill, Bloody Bill...

I'd vouch of Philly. Not only was it the first capitol, it would totally fulfill the nostalgia purpose. To me, it would also be problematic for the Union to hold the border at Fredericksburg, VA. Because that was Mosby's country. Solid Pro-CSA. The Potomac would make an ideal border, it...

As far as national military allies go I'd peg Maxamillian's Empire of Mexico and Napoleon III's France. Also being trade partners with Britain, so there is that. If this were an earlier victory, the CSA has states like Kentucky, Arizona and the Indian Territory in it's hands. Some light...

So you killed Cadmus Willcox? :p

Cleburne was alive in 1914, he appeared in "American Front".

But I'm thinking more of the sense of a post-independence scenario. That is an interesting thought though, had the CS ever captured any Gatling guns and substantial ammo for it during the war?

Don't know about Gatling guns. However, if John Browning still makes his way to Georgia after Confederate independence. An interesting armaments industry might crop up... Block action rifles, repeaters, semi-automatic pistols. The forebearers of modern machine guns included as well...

Jackson being moved West could be realistically be done in this scenario.

On a similar note could Sequoyah/Oklahoma been the Indian Nation's own homeland in the CSA? I mean, it is a possibility.

HL. Hunley Juarez attempted to escape to Union-held El Paso in 1863 and made it in OTL, if this is an early CS victory, that certainly isn't happening. Because at that point the French held just about everything south of Chihuahua, you had CS/French friendly Vidaurri just next door in Nuevo...

Outside of blacks, I feel the CSA's treatment of other minorities won't be quite as severe. Or at least comparable to the US. You have Hispanics, while not seen as equal to whites, are still seen as above the slaves. They are allowed to serve in the military and hold office in some places...

From what I remember from the series, the 5 Civilized Tribes had it pretty good in the CSA. They were rewarded with helping CS independence, got their own nations/counties, state of Sequoyah, full representation by tribal basis in the CS congress. And in return for being loyal to Richmond, they...

It was I Want to Believe that killed it.

Because, I think if anything was to continue the way it would in the best case scenario. Seasons 6-7 would continue as per OTL, 8 would be a bit different with more Mulder, the Lone Gunmen spinoff gets a second season with more Morris Fletcher to go with season 9/10 and then we transition to a...

How does this end for characters like Frank Black?

Continuing with a successor series with Doggett/Reyes, after wrapping up Mulder/Scully's storyline would be interesting. Doggett the skeptic, Reyes the believer, are the Lone Gunmen still dead? And the Super Soldiers run around in the Second Iraq War and Hurricane Katrina!

This means the NEXTEL/Sprint Cup and Chase for the Cup either gets butterflied away, or with Dale Sr.'s resistance, is a bit more declawed than it is in OTL. Safety regulations are a bit more lax, but this could mean a different driver dies in Sr.'s place. Jeff Gordon getting killed would be...
