Modern Imperialism

Secession of the Southern states happens on scheduled but due to bad decisions by Lincoln and other Union leaders more states secede and the war becomes even more unpopular within the Union. Virgina keeps West Virginia. Kentucky, Missouri, the Indian territory, and the Arizona territory(Arizona, New Mexico, and bottom arrow of Nevada) secede with the confederacy. Missouri and Arizona territory are still heavily contested during the war and aren't fully under confederate control unit the treaty after the war forces Union to withdraw from all confederate claims.
Confederates are able to gain consistent victories in northern Virginia to start the war then march into Maryland. Out west they are able to stop any Union advances by using the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers as natural defensive lines. Due to holding ground and number of victories mix with good diplomacy the confederacy convinces France to join the war on their side and recognize their nation. They also get Britain to recognize them but they don't immediately join the war. France mostly helps by breaking any possible blockade. With French support the confederacy is abled to secure Maryland and capture DC and even capture Delware(received less unwelcoming then Maryland). The United States government relocates to Philadelphia. Massive riots break out in New York. Other cities experience anti-war protest or violence but Lincoln stays persistent on keeping the war going. Confederacy tries to march into Pennsylvania and towards Philadelphia. The confederates also do raids cross the rivers into the Midwest. They suffer a defeat and are pushed back outside of Philadelphia. The Union starts to march towards DC to retake it. During the march a major incident happens between the British and Union navy off the Delware coast when shots are exchange between both forces over confusion caused by the war. Britain takes this as an act of war and declares war soon after. The following months see the US(Lincoln orders) try to make one last grand push against the rebels and in hopes of ending the war before things get too bad. This is hindered by mass desertions and even some mutinies among Union soldiers. Even some commanders refuse to take orders after news of the destruction of the US navy and blockade of the coast by both British and French navy become obvious. When British forces start marching through New England to Boston from Canada Lincoln sues for peace.
The after war treaty. The Confederacy is victorious and gains Maryland and Delaware on top of their other claims. New England(Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut) is occupied by British forces and made into the Kingdom of New England under a relative of the British royal family who is limited in power(this government is very unpopular and only lasts for a short time). Britain also occupies Washington State, Oregon, and Idaho making it into a new nation and puppet state like New England but under a republic government. The United States must renounce all claims to these new independent nations.
USA- experiences a high amount of unrest and economic hardship right after the war. Lincoln is immediately impeached after the war and tried for treason and violating the constitution. He is sentenced to death. The United States experiences a other rebellion out west soon after the war among the Mormons in Utah. They are successful in establishing the theocratic republic of Deseret(Utah and most of Nevada) thanks to secret support by the CSA. California quickly secedes after due to being cut off by land with the United States. United States recovers economically by the late 1890s. While not always the most economically or politically stable it is still one of the most industrialized nation in the Western Hemisphere only being rival by New England. Philadelphia is the capital
CSA- The confederacy comes out of the war in a mix position. It has gotten independence and more but has a great amount of unrest especially among Appalachia and former Union loyal areas. Out west outlaws and Indian raids become rapid especially since they can more easily flee cross borders now. The confederacy economy is good those. They mostly rely on exports but slowly industrializes with the main industrial products being light industries, clothing, luxury goods, and weapons. Poor whites are encouraged to move and work in factories while slaves do agriculture and most rural labor. Slavery isn't abolish in CSA until the early 1890s. It is replaced by racial segregation which can vary by state but is strict in most states besides Louisiana and Hispanic states which uses a caste system instead of the one drop rule like the other confederate states. CSA helped France keep control of Mexico through filibustering and military support after the war. As a reward they annexed Northern Mexico except Beta California which was given to the California Republic. CSA keeps good relationship with France but has strained relationship with various nations after gaining independence. This includes Britian, California, and the United States. CSA does have a great relationship with Brazil and Portugal. CSA did receive heavy condemnation by some nations especially Britain during its invasion and conquest of Haiti in the 1870s which resulted in massive enslavement of the local population and Haitians be sold across the CSA. Britain even threatened embargo and blockade of the confederacy. CSA has the largest and most professional standing army in the Western Hemisphere to help keep the nation together. This has lead the CSA to take over Panama, Honduras, and Puppet Columbia through a mix of fillbustering and military might. By 1890 they even complete the Panama Canal(by slavery labor). The CSA is often called the aristocratic republic by critics due to voting only being limited to the wealthy elites which are mostly the plantation class. The capital is moved to DC after the war
New England- While not as unstable as other regions in the former United States, New England still suffer from frequent protest against imposed British government and monarch. Although under this government New England sees continuation of mass industrialization. The expansion of industry and trade is the only main focus of the country. The country receives heavy immigration especially from Ireland which increases anti-British feelings. A group calling themselves the Sons of Liberty often commit attacks against British and Royal authorities in the region. By 1881 the coup by wealthy New England businessmen forces the king to step down in favor of a republic government. Britain lets this in exchange they keep all their other privileges over New England. Capital is Boston
