Hi folks, this is something I've wanted to do for a while now. As it says on the label, with a POD of no later than 1863, make it to where, by 1940(75 years after the end of the Civil War in our reality), a U.S.A. that's undergone a socialist, or at least quasi-socialist, revolution, is facing off against a surviving C.S.A. now dominated by a reactionary(if not necessarily *fascist, per se), party that is becoming increasingly belligerent. For the purposes of this scenario, If (or perhaps when!) a *WW2 analogue does break out here, the U.S.A. would be allied with Britain, France, Italy, Canada(if independent), and Japan, while the C.S.A.'s allies would be Germany and their puppets(Austria-Hungary collapsed prior to this; Austria is now part of Germany and Hungary is a puppet under a Wittelsbach king), and the Ottoman Empire(mainly out of convenience).
In other words, fill in the blanks between the POD and now, however you'd like.
Bonus points awarded if-
1. No Nazi Party analogue actually in power in the Confederacy....so no Jake Featherston.
2. The U.S.A. is organized more along the lines of the UASR in Jello_Biafra's Reds TL, but without eliminating the states, necessarily.
3. The C.S.A. does *not* have Kentucky or the northernmost portions of Virginia(OTL's southern D.C. metro, and a few adjacent places; can be part of West Virginia, or made into it's own state if large enough, a la Union and Liberty.), but does have at least one or two Central American states/territories.
4. The Union still gets Alaska, and Hawa'ii.
5. Canada is not only independent, but republican and not part of the British Commonwealth, and has it's OTL territories(or even more, perhaps).
6. Yugoslavia still exists, or is even Communist(no Tito analogue required).
7. Japan is an emerging democracy(does not have to be *quite* liberal yet)
8. Ireland is independent and also a U.S. ally.
