How long would the Democrats remain the dominant party in the South and what issues are likely to split it or lead to a rival rising from the outside? Could the South evolve state parties on par with modern-day Canada? Would successful secession lead to the demise of the Republicans in the North or would they bounce back from the defeats that are expected of them in 1864? Could a new party system emerge in the North? Might a centrist party/coalition form to oppose revanchist Radicals on the one hand and philo-Confederate Copperheads on the other? Would there be pro- and anti-Northern parties in the South and pro- and anti-Southern parties in the North or would the stance on bilateral relations cross party lines?
