The CSA as constituted IOTL never had a chance of winning and we all know it. What I'm wondering is whether or not a group of states with similar borders to the CSA could have had both the desire and the ability to secede from the USA at some point, and if so, what PODs would have been needed. Since the war was basically the refusal of the aristocracy to get with the times, I'm inclined to think there is no such POD or series of such, as I find it impossible to accept any society resembling the OTL CSA winning in a military (or any other) conflict with the USA.
