Is it ASB or reasonable that the borders of the states in an Independent Confederacy with the United States will be exactly equal to the borders of those States in 2012. Most specifically, I have several areas that I can not imagine exactly following the boundaries of today.
1) West Virginia/Virginia Border, most specifically, I'm having a hard time imagining that the border especially in the eastern Panhandle would be the same as it is today. In OTL, Virginia went to the Supreme Court to declare the method by which the eastern Panhandle counties went to West Virginia, I would imagine that they would be equally insistent in a Peace Treaty
2) Greer County Texas. The State of Texas set up this county inside what is now Oklahoma and claimed it all the way from 1860 to the Supreme Court decision in 1896. I doubt the Union would insist on keeping all of the Indian Territory.
3) Other areas of concern are that the Union would want to keep the VA part of the Delmarva to keep the Chesapeake from being blockaded and whether the Union would give up the very Union supporting areas of Tennessee.
