For a while I have been wondering, if the CSA somehow become independent with a POD in the 1850s, and around the 19whatevers or so, slavery is starting to die out. Slavers are coming under pressure to free their slaves from everywhere else in the world.
Around this time is when the poor whites in the CSA have elected a socialist (for white people only, of course!) President and Congress in response to them finally realizing that the Slaver Oligarchy has been screwing them all their lives. I could see nationalization being used to cripple enemies of the Administration and these nationalized slaves being used like the forced labor of the fascist and communist countries.
