AHC: Surviving Confederate Colonies

Your challenge is to have confederate colonies such as New Virginia and New Texas survive. Bonus points if you can get these confederate colonies to become US states.
 
You must firstly get CSA to win the war and survive. And even then it would be incredible difficult get any colonies in Africa. CSA hadn't even very good navy and USA is not allowing CSA going much everywhere. If CSA is very lucky Cuba is possible.

New Virginia and New Texas were proposed colonies after the CSA already lost, basically, they were settlement schemes inside existing countries.
 
Your best bet would probably be a Rebel colony in Cuba. Spain in the mid to late 1800s was notoriously unstable, and the locals would at least be somewhat sympathetic to their racial ideals and would appreciate the addition of organized military elements willing to defend the status quo from the potentially uppity black population. Assuming you could get the US to not make a move on the island, a sufficent breakdown in Spainish power could easily lead to the Dixie exiles merged with the local elite making a bid for independence or autonomy within the Empire and winning it
 
I think the best bet is Nicaragua which was historically conquered by a pro slavery Southerner with a handful of troops. After the war have some former confederate officer organize a filibuster with a few thousand veteran troops, to re-establish their "traditions" and there you go. Tens of thousands of southerners historically immigrated to Brazil so with an independent Anglo led republic I'd imagine you could get enough to form an anglo ruling class.
