I think I get the scenario, but could you elaborate a little more on the basic story? A good title needs to match the tone and events of the timeline and its main conflict; it's not just the initial POD.
Take Decades of Darkness. By itself, New England seceding from the USA wouldn't warrant such an ominous title. It earned that title, however, due to the main conflict that would transpire from there: the USA rising as an oppressive, slaveholding Evil Empire that became a force for oppression and racism in the world.
So could you describe some further details about this timeline? Immediately after the South secedes, where do things go from there? Does the South become an oppressive dark force like the DoD USA, or is it not quite so bad? How does the USA fare in the aftermath of secession? Does the world become more violent and warlike, as it often does in secession timelines (DoD, TL-191, etc.)? Are there major effects on Europe and the rest of the world, as in DoD?
