In TL-191, The Confederates were given Sonora (and another Mexican state i forget) in exchange for assisting Maxamillion taking over Mexico. This seems rather odd to me, as Sonora contained rich silver mines, and exploting them was on Napoleon III and Maxamillion's agenda. Maxamillion was also concerned with the well being of the mexican populace, and I dont think he would give away his countrymen away. So is it ASB that the Confederates got Sonora? would it be more realistic if they got a narrow strip in the north of the mexican state?
