Kansas was a decidedly Union state in the real Civil War - you may want to replace it with Indian Territory/*Oklahoma, especially if America takes back north Texas (and they're descendants of Upper Southerners/Appalachians compared to east Texas's Deep Southern ancestors, so).

Slip of the pen. I meant Arkansas. Gateway to Louisiana.

Assuming the slaves won the revolt,even if the ex-slaves didn't succeed in wiping the Whites out,wouldn't enough have perished to make the white population a non-entity demographically?

In 1860, the population of the states that actually seceded was roughly 2-1 white to black, and the whites had the organization, arms, transportation, and communication. You do the math.

Turner's rebellion in southeastern Virginia was crushed in two days by what amounted to local white militia/posses/mobs...

Rebellion by the enslaved, absent any deus ex machina, is only going to end in one way; an insurrection supported by a outside power with forces in the field is a very different situation.

I can't help but think of my original CSA dystopia idea.

The part where slavery exists to the modern day.
The discovery that all of humanity emerged in Africa, and this is proven via DNA.
The continued existence of the One Drop Rule, thereby justifying enslavement of anyone of African ancestry: (Read, Anyone)
The ruthless, uncompromised and maximal interpretation of everyone being subject to endless labor without compensation.
The 1984ish level of doublethink of irrelevant racial defenses of a government that simply enslaves whites as "blacks" somehow supporting a racial hierarchy that favors them.

Under a dictatorship that claims to be the true heirs of George Washington and Robert E. Lee, immoral businessmen sell genetically specialized humans from vats, the organs and body parts of "underproductives" and every last item of "cheap labor" on the planet.

The world no longer cares about Slavery. Like Saudi Oil, its too good of a deal to buy and sell such goods to worry about the how. And that such slavery is now much more a means to punish dissidents than simple racism, well, God supports Slavery therefore it's a positive good.

The United States has no interest in reannexing the Confederacy. Locked into three rounds of war between the UK backing Dixie, they've already taken the stuff they want (The Mississippi, Virginia, Appalachia) and gained Canada. Now the CSA is too broke, too insane, and too darn useful to reannex. Canada is more than fair compensation for the loss of the Deep South.

The world continues to buy. The CSA continues to sell. And there is no sign, not the slightest, that this will ever change.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the South would reject any and all evidence of humans originating in Africa because it conflicts with their religious beliefs about the origins of man.
