I've been reading a history of the CSA and apparently the secession of the six states from the USA in 1860 wouldn't have necessarily have happened so peacefully. The USA president-elect, Abraham Lincoln, whose election may have sparked the crisis, was something of a nationalist who might have tried to force the states back into the Union by force if he hadn't wound up in that railway accident. And there were hotheads in the CSA army who wanted to start a war and it took all of Toombs' efforts to put them in their place.

But just at one overlooked butterfly. The highly successful novel and movie, "Gone with the Wind", is set on a plantation in Georgia during that time. What changes would happen in bothl if there had actually been a war?
