I think it would be fascinating if a Confederate Civil war broke out due to irredentism. Say, for example, that Western Texas falls into Union hands and remains with the US post bellum. The Texan government, feeling sold out by Richmond,wanting its land back and unable to get Confederal support for a renewed war effort, allows militia groups to attack Union forces in West Texas.
Those milita groups are dealt with harshly, but rather than face war with the US at a time when the Confederacy doesn't feel itself strong enough, Richmond moves in to restore order in Texas, and the Texans start shooting back.
I don't find this scenario particularly likely, tbh, but it would be interesting.
