North America with an USA and CSA

Most likely discussed to death but I am just curious...

With out ending in unrealistic scenario's:

-How would the USA and CSA look like at the turn of the century around 1900-1910.
-Would Texas be a meber of the CSA or is it an independent country?
-How would the North develop?

Texas was already part of the CSA. Whether or not they decide to secede anyway, that's an open question.

Regarding slavery, the general sentiment on the board on a poll not too long ago was that it would be abolished in the CSA sometime around the 1890s.

Can you provide a link to support that? Because there are a good many who agree that the CSA doesn't give up slavery short of conquest or internal revolution. So good luck passing an abolition amendment; it's very mention is banned in Congress, and in most every State and by the CS Constitution.

Slavery cannot be abolished by constitutional ammendment or any other centralized way in the CSA. Abolition in the CSA is going to be a slow state-by-state endevour, individual states can alter their constitutions, it's really a matter of when. Places like Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Arkansas, etc may be the first CS states to do it, but not for quite a while.

But when the Boll Weevil hits the Deep South (early 1890s), things get interesting.
 
Better farming equipment following the turn of the century would make slavery obsolete, you probably would see the beginning of Confederate emancipation around the same time.
