Would butterflying jazz culture be one of them?
Likely jazz culture and almost all of black culture in the United States gets butterflied away. One thing I've always wondered is how a USA without a Great Migration would develop? Would it just develop slower economically or would more immigrants be brought over from Europe or Asia for the labor? That could have pretty significant effects.

Probably not, which is why I think there will be some major diversions in the minstrelsy. I could see "Uncle Tom's Cabin" becoming a really popular minstrel show up North.I wonder if the semi-Romanticism of Southern plantation culture would still occur in the North if the CSA is still a potential enemy.
I don't think Jazz would be butterflied away. After all, an existing CSA provides even more reason for Blacks to go North..
It would be a long border. You get into the Indian territory or Texas, you could probably slip across.I'm pretty sure the USA wouldn't allow blacks to come up north if the CSA had won, especially since most of them would still be slaves (or essentially slaves) and it's not like they were coming up by droves before the Civil War. Traveling into the USA would be even harder now with a border that likely stops any Underground Railroads.
Why, slaves will still want to leave and there will still be abolitionists helping them and as the CSA is another country the fugitive slave law no longer applies, and the remaining union states with slavery will be abolishing with the decade, so free territory is literally right across the borderI'm pretty sure the USA wouldn't allow blacks to come up north if the CSA had won, especially since most of them would still be slaves (or essentially slaves) and it's not like they were coming up by droves before the Civil War.

i like how everyone automatically assumes that in the confederacy, black people will forever be slaves...
weve being over this...slavery was not viable forever in the csa, and eventually you would see emancipation, a civil rights movement, and black culture becoming the "forbidden fruit of the south" til its widely regarded as part of the culture...itd be slower, but itd still happen
I agree, there were already freeborn blacks in the CSA the institution wouldn't last forever.
I agree, I just assume it lingers on till the US eventual gets fed up with the collapsing nation to its south and invades.i like how everyone automatically assumes that in the confederacy, black people will forever be slaves...

Not forever, but another 90 years is certainly possible until the cotton fields can be mechanized.
