    What really is the future of the CSA?

    ...you do know that the Wehrmacht had standing orders to summarily execute POWs on the Eastern Front, right? The order was signed off on by Hitler, Müller, Halder (a Nazi himself), Keitel (a spinless yesman, but a yesman for war crimes so that isn't really an excuse), and Warlimont, all of whom...

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    Never gonna happen, "the Union is the most important object" was basically agreed by every Northern candidate in 1860. So as you said, ASB.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    I doubt it. Again, the planter class is going to be much stronger and with all the time and ability to entrench themselves structurally. More likely small-timers are going to continue to be forced out of the market, eventually being reduced to sharecropping and "underpaid overseer with a small...

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    Won't be present until the 1900s-1910s most likely (IOTL it only reached America in 1892, and its effects really started to cause crisis by the '20s). Benjamin Tillman, preventing revolution? I doubt it.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    His shift on agriculture IOTL was after the planter class in SC had been severely weakened by economic and political factors in the 1870s and early 1880s. That's never going to succeed in a successful Confederacy, without the Union occupation the planter class would absolutely be able to...

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    Ben Tillman, leading "some reforms to cool it down"? This is the same guy who IOTL lead a blatant white supremacist coup d'etat and was a proud proponent of lynching, and was well known for his incendiary speeches. Not exactly a sober reformer.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    No, I think that the combination of built-in structural problems and socioeconomic incentives for the elites to ignore those problems and refuse to fix them will lead to the collapse of the CS.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    It's well within the capabilities of the Southern elites. Their incompetence, narcissism, and intransigence is a matter of extensive historical record.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    Remember that time that Nicky called the cause of rabid antisemitism "a good cause" and only told his minions to pull back on the frothing-at-the-mouth reprinting of a plagiarized antisemitic rant cooked up by a deranged Okhrana operative because he was afraid that the plagiarized antisemitic...

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    I'm going to quote what you just said: It's gonna be a revolution. And that's not a situation the CS can survive.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    And yet the imbeciles in charge of the Confederacy continued to emphasize the production of cotton over food crops, even as widespread hunger wracked the CS.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    Irish famine of 1845-1852. Deliberately exacerbated by the Brits, causing lasting social agitation that eventually led to the loss of most of Ireland. Bengal famine of 1943, caused by deliberate destruction of food and farmland by British authorities.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    You'd be surprised. The Brits did it multiple times. The Russians did it (which cost the Tsar his throne, which he 100% deserved because it was his own stupid fault). The CS did it. Political leaders are far from perfectly rational.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    Yes. They will want the government to subsidize their dying economic system. They're the entrenched elite, they fought a war for cotton and slavery, they're not going to want to industrialize and diversify because that could threaten their control over the economy. Debatable. I would say...

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    It's possible, but IMO it's at least as likely that reunification will become associated with nationalism and the national myth. There was substantial ideological commitment to the cotton plantation economy by 1860, for a number of reasons (middle-tier landowners being pushed out of the market...

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    No. People signed up for WW2 knowing full well how bad WW1 was and how 700k people starved because the government used all copper for military use and didn't leave any to be used to kill phytophora.

    What really is the future of the CSA?

    I said that plenty of Germans signed up for the newest round of war with France. You didn't respond to that.

    That's not what I said at all.
