So it's a different poster named 67th Tigers who said "Indeed, I often point out that an independent Confederacy will enter the 20th century as the worlds leading oil producer as it will likely have the richest population on the planet."![]()

However, oil production =/= overtaking the US and their coal based industries. Coal is a far more industrially applicable material.
