I recently had the idea of writing a TL which involves the CSA gaining independence and then has William H. Seward becoming president of the USA afterward with the plan of expanding the USA to make up for the land lost to the south by purchasing Alaska and annexing British Columbia.
What I'd like to hear from others is whether or not they believe that a member of Abe Lincoln cabinet would be likely elected on such a platform after loosing the ACW. Ideas?
