Likely along the Missouri River.I don't think states within each country would split. It is possible that some states could split between the two countries. E.g. North Missouri staying in the US; South Missouri going to the CS.
If they get NM Terr.,they split it along a N/S line(which is what the residents of the teritory wanted when it came time for statehood, though they would have prefered staying as one state)?Does the CSA get Arizona/ New Mexico in the peace treaty? Maybe different borders in that territory. Otherwise no place for change inside the CSA
No North/South Dokota - just one state. Maybe a few slight changes in other American
Desert states.
And there is always N/S California.
Dakota was only split so the Republicans could have 4 Senate seats instead of 2, ensuring their majority during Reconstruction.
I've heard this, but never had it confirmed.Isn't it true that Texas maintains the option of splitting into three states if the Texas legislature allows or is this nonsense?![]()
Oh yesMaryland loses its Eastern Shore and Delaware joins the Victorious CSA.
Delaware was rather ambivalant about the whole matter really. We were reluctant to secede, but would have done so if Maryland had, as the two states have often acted together.Maryland loses its Eastern Shore and Delaware joins the Victorious CSA
The problem with the Eastern Shore of MD and VA going to the CSA is that, if recall properly, the Eastern Shore was very pro-union....My parents have a place in Chincoteague VA..and the local histories are full or pro-union sentiment....and Delaware was prbly not all that pro-CSA...
As for sentiment, most of the Pro-Union sentiment was concentrated in the northern 2 counties(primarily New Castle) and the Pro-CSA sentiment was concentrated in Sussex(which remains the most Conservative part of the state to this day.)
But even then, there were only ~4,000 slaves in the whole state, the massive majority of them, again, concentrated in Sussex.
As an interesting footnote, Delaware did not officialy ratify the Thirteenth Amendment until late in the century.
