First off a bit of background for this. Standard PoD that has Joseph E. Johnston not get replaced and thus he's able to keep Atlanta from falling long enough to have Lincoln loose the election. Atlanta does end up falling but lets say it holds out until around Christmas so Sherman isn't able to start his March to the Sea now and will have to wait until the weather improves. I'll admit that even with that by the time McClellan ends up in office the CSA would still barely be hanging on.

However lets just for the sake of it he still agrees to at least try and negotiate a peace with the CSA. Of course one of the major sticking points would be what land gets returned to the CSA and what land doesn't. What would be the maximum and minimum amount of land the CSA could wind up getting back and what would the CSA look like afterwards in those scenario's?
