At risk of sounding rude, I really can't parse this. "Using numerical superiority and technology to suffer setbacks and unrest" makes it unclear who is experiencing setbacks and unrest.
Thanks. I thought it was around here somewhere, but I didn't see any threadmark for it.
What is the situation in Mexico and the Caribbean between the Confederacy and Union?
List of Countries by Gross Domestic Product, Population, and Per Capita
California is actually the 6th largest economy, and would easily the most powerful of the "rebel states". It has been the case since at least 1990...
Mexico is currently a presidential republic since its abolition of the monarchy but it's aligned to the GSSO, same goes for some Caribbean countries (except the Dominican Republic). During Walker's dictatorship period, Santo Domingo is a vital and close ally to Rome where Scorza would not only extend their influence but threaten the United States during the height of the Frozen War.
Before I will explain anything, Mexico was a constitutional monarchy and aligned with France during the civil war between the Monarchists and the Republicans, but without American involvement with the French giving a free hand to gain a foothold in the continent. Possibly, no Panama Canal was built by the Americans, maybe by the French or the British with investment and backing support to Colombia.
In economic terms also, Baja has already fallen behind following the end of Walker's dictatorship. Fortunately, California's economic output is different than the OTL where major firms would offshore their operations by building the factories in San Diego as well as the adjacent shipping lanes, and additionally, tourism would provide the neighboring state in the C.S.A., a big boost.
Actually a problem with that is Long Beach and Alameda, are not just on ternational shipping hubs but rail hubs. Second, you have the largest communications hubs in Silicon Valley and Los Angeles.
Another problem is that the CSA would always be a human rights disaster. Just consider that Texas, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, and the fact no amount of advertising will convince people of color or LGBTQ that they won't see Third World poverty, lynchings, racism and gun violence, at levels unseen in the Western world...
Here is a major problem. All of the Mexican and Southwestern territories of the CSA are Spanish-speaking, Hispanic, Roman Catholic, and distinctly anti-slavery. The French in Mexico, and the United States in the north would certainly launch insurrection and back insurgents in the region. Second, what is preventing them from seceding from the CSA? Texas and the various Native American groups are certainly not interested in the policies of the CSA.
Also the CSA is going to be a mess starting in the 1920s/1930s, since the pseudo-libertarian ethos of the CSA was opposed to state and federal highways, much less providing electricity, flood protection, and clean drinking water. Without these items the CSA is a Third World and non-industrialized mess, relying on slavery to prop its economy..
