This map is a part of @damein fisher's timeline "The Greatest Game In The World" on alternatehistory.com, which will eventually culminate in this mess, although the timeline is currently still in 1848. Essentially the idea is that the North and South just keep compromising on slavery (which eventually turns industrial) all the way up to 1905, when the country just shatters. The US also completely fails at building railroads to the West for far longer than in our timeline, and as a result industrialization and transport links to the interior of the country happen far slower.
