I've never really read how the implications of a CSA victory/settlement/recognition would have affected the 1864 election...or later for that matter. Depending on how disastrous the war effort was for the North (especially if it involved foreign intervention), or the terms exactly, could it kill the GOP? What effect would that have on the Democratic Party? How big would reconciliation, detente and revanchism all be? What new parties would emerge, if any?
