Germany unifies much earlier let's say 1848...

In an attempt to stretch its new Empire a bit and take an active role in international events, The German Empire recognizes and supports the Confederate States of America early in the American Civil War.

Ex-Confederates therefore either immigrate or are exiled to Germany (who accepts them and their slaves willingly) who begins to use the added manpower and military strength to more efficiently industrialize.

Non ASB way to integrate a large quantity of ex-Confederates (including the Klan, the Confederados, etc.) to an earlier Unified Germany and the ramifications up until...

...well until whenever you like.

Germany may accept the continuance of slavery (or at least serfdom) and the Klan runs secret terrorist activity in the Reconstruction Era south (as well as in Germany) with its base in Germany, as with German support and exile to Europe, the Klan would be more violent and radical a lot sooner... right?

And GO!
