Inspired by a short thread about the impact of a CS Victory on Canada...

In a CS victory TL, what sort of butterflies would we see impacting the British Empire?

I think the idea of an Anglo-American War over Canada is a bit overdone, but if the Democrats are in power in the United States (assuming a peace of exhaustion and a Democratic electoral victory in 1864), might the Fenian Raids be worse as the Democrats have to cater to the urban Irish immigrant vote?

Might the 1867 Reform Act be butterflied away, as the progressive forces in Britain remain focused on the abolition of slavery instead of turning their attention to political reform?
