Is there any way that major Latin American powers such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile or Uruguay could've somehow directly intervened in the ACW, & on whose side ?
1859 - 1863: Federal War in Venezuela.
1860 - 1862: Colombian Civil War
1864 - 1866: The Chincha Islands War between Spain and former colonies Peru and Chile occurs.
1864 - 1870: The War of the Triple Alliance occurs.
1879 - 1884: Bolivia and Peru fight Chile in the War of the Pacific.
How about Mexico offering troops and materiel to the Unionist side?
After all, both are anti-slavery. And a Confederate victory would place a potentially hostile and expansionary state right on Mexico's northern border. What a CSA conquest of Mexico would have looked like, I've no idea. But I can't imagine the natives would come out of it too well.
How the hell are Uruguay and Chile mayor powers?
A war between Spain on one side and Peru/Chile on the other? Didn't somebody talk about possible Spanish intervention on behalf of the Union a month or so ago? Done the right way, might be able to tie those two together somehow.A look at a list of relevant conflicts
You could mingle or pre-empt some of these in
You've also got stuff with the Mapuche, maybe involving France, tho my memory of dates is as sound as soggy carboard
