I have read where in 1861 the governor of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila offered to have his states annexed to the CSA in exchange for a Texas regiment to help win a revolution. Then in 1862 the governor of Chihuahua agreed to ally the CSA to buy and store supplies there. Finally also in 1862 the governor of Sonora agreed to grant entry and passage of the CSA army and supply the CSA with food and military stores and was willing to rebel if the central government had a problem with this. It is believed that the annexation of Sonora was also discussed. A reporter out of San Frisco got wind of the Sonora negations and told the USA. So for discussion lets assume the Nuevo Leon and Coahuila join the CSA in 1861 and Sonora joins in 1862 while Chihuahua supplies food and weapons, how does this affect the war?
