After 1850. First, how do we get this scenario? Do we have an earlier Dred Scott analogue? Maybe some equivalent of Lemmon Vs. New York makes it to the SCOTUS and uphold's the plaintiff's "right" to bring slaves into a free state? Maybe this causes Northerners to fear that slaveowners were going to come to their state and force farmers out to make way for a plantation? Maybe immigrants and other industrial workers riot for fear that slaveowners were going to use their massive labor force to steal their jobs? And if they do, what happens next? Which states secede? does California secede? Do the Nebraska, Oregon, and Utah territories secede? Is a northern secessionist state that also takes California, Nebraska Territory, Minnesota Territory, Orgon Territory/state and Washington territory plausible, or as wankish as a CSA that takes Arizona, Kentucky, and Missouri? Do the UK and France support them? Do they expand? Discuss.
