We've all read books and timelines involving an Independent CSA. There are a number of ways of which this could be achieved but what I am wondering is that are the CSA and USA destined to become bitter enemies and fight several wars as occurs in every timeline, or are they more likely to become the best of friends?
I understand that this depends on how the south achieved independence. If it was peaceful, than the relations between the USA and CSA would most likely be peaceful. If it was a hard fought war without foreign aid than I would think it would be tense at first but by the end of the century things would have cooled down and the two would be pretty friendly. However if the CSA had achieved victory after a hard fought war with foreign assistance I can imagine the CSA and USA being more enbittered with eachother.
These are just my thoughts, who else wants to chime in?
