Based on this AAR, I came up with a question

What if the USA did not abolished slavery, and this reversed the civil war? The PoD of that scenario comes way before the civil war, but there Lincoln was still a senator in 1860, and he got assassinated. In this alternate scenario the balance was well into the hand of the slave states since 1836, and was getting worse with almost every single newly accepted state (like kansas) adopting slavery. What happens is by 1874 a reverse secession fires, the northern industrial states leave the union preaching their loyalty for the american values against slavery, and so the civil war is against a slavery supporting US against abolitionist rebels

"The citizens of the North have left our union, and after a bloody war, they remain independent. Rather than dwelling on the past, we must look to the future. The North left behind a confederation of states, devoted to the promotion of true economic freedom. We must embrace this confederation, for it is the Union we have left.
-excerpt from the Declaration of Confederation, 1877
"

Is such scenario possible?
