Is it possible, after a hypothetical Confederate victory, for the CSA to decend into a race war/genocide?

Sure, eventually. Blacks made up a majority in several Confederate states, and you can only keep people oppressed for so long...
This. Despite what one might hear from the "Moonlight and Magnolias" crowd, the large majority of slaves weren't *just* discontented(virtually all were discontented, at least), but also desperate to try to cope with their situation any way they could, including running away and even outright revolting. Truthfully, it was really only a matter of time before a major revolt, or series of revolts, would occur that could cripple entire sections of the region for several weeks, or even a few months at a time.....it's also almost unbelievable that there weren't *more* Nat Turners and Denmark Veseys.
If the confederacy wins, which is in my humble opinion as ASB as sealion, they will no longer prevent the importation of slaves. While many in the government will be opposed, as this will drop the worth of each slave, the confederate government will not be able to stop this as they do not have to proper authority to do so... this will lead to several problems...
1) As the price of slaves drops, the proliferation of slaves will increase. This will allow the yeoman farmer, who apparently fought for the right to decide his own fate, to buy his own slaves.
2) The proliferation will lead to the slave owning aristocracy wanting to restrict ownership of slaves
They will see that as more begin to buy foreign slaves the price of their own slaves will plummit. They dont want to see that after all this is a business.
3) The backlash will lead to even more issues between the confederate states. As states where the aristocracy has more control will fight against the western states where the common man has more control.
4) as the southern states begin to break up the population has already skewed towards such a high percentage of slaves. once the states break up into several competing nations
