No Mexico fought a multi year war where they were repeatedly defeated on the battlefield after quite a lot of struggle and had their capital occupied and lost territory with less population than most of the states that are usually mentioned have in 1860
No if Maxi is in charge then Mexico is a puppet of France, which as it is said has interests not allies
What does France gain by selling the CSA that territory besides money they don't need that much?
But pretty much ever since then the Mexican government (or whoever was in charge) has rolled over to the US.
If Maxi is in control of Mexico, it is still an ally of the CSA, whether de-facto or not, Maximillian has not and will not do anything against the CSA if they are also a French ally/interest and the CSA won't do anything against them.
What does France seriously even LOSE by selling Sonora, Chihuahua and Nuevo Leon? Those territories are ones the CSA wants, and they have been bastions of rebellion against the French in some cases, and pro-CSA in others.
