I was just in one of the CSA victory threads and someone posted about how if the CSA won, they would become unstable quickly and fall prey to revolution.

Finally!!! Someone else who thinks that the CSA would not be anything like today's south. I agree that the CSA is bound for a revolution at some point. Whether this is a left/socialist one or a populist right-wing one doesn't matter, things are not staying like they were. Also OTLs southern racism was mostly a product of Tue south loosing the war.

If this were true, and lets say for this timeline that Lincoln and the Union signed a peace treaty with the CSA, how long would it take for an active/successful revolutionary movement to occur?

Depending on how long it would take (I don't know if forty years is asking too much?), what if, after the Bolshevik Revolution, Trotsky escapes to North America, more specifically the CSA, and sparks the new communist movement in the south.

Dunno if that last bit was too ASB, but still it'd be pretty cool to see how epic that revolution could turn out to be.
