In an earlier post (https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/confederate-arizona.331729/) I asked if the CSA can gain the Arizona Territory if it gains independence by a peace treaty after a democrat wins the presidential election of 1864. Everybody believed that it was too late and impossible. ¿But would it have been possible that the US accept a referendum in the territory to decide the question? The population of the territory was mainly pro-confederate, and I do not see why the US would want to have a territory full of confederates.
