Basically ever new nation has a civil war as part of the maturation of its political system. I don't imagine the Confederate States, especially being as decentralized as it was, would be exempt from this.

So, how do you think this would affect a victorious (let's assume they leave with their core states, Kentucky, and the Indian Territory) Confederacy? What specific issues might spark the civil war, how would it play out, and when would it happen?

I'd imagine the Confederacy either having some stupid war over states rights in the late 1800s, probably ending in the Confederacy being divided. Alternatively, or in addition, some really nasty populist revolt in the 1900s (due to a lack of reform and the slaveocracy frustrating the yeomanry).

EDIT: I forgot to say, feel free to talk about slave revolts, but I'm not really counting those as "civil wars" just since it's a given that they would happen. I'm more interested in scenarios in which you have Whites as major participants in the uprising.
