Slave Revolution in a post American Civil War CSA

How likely is a slave revolt anyway. In otl slave revolts seem to be the exception rather than the norm unless things were enormously in their favour. (e.g. Hati)
 
A very rare exception. For the most part people will despise neighbors who were once part of their own country and of the same culture. India/Pakistan is the norm.
What about relations between Mexico and it's closest central americna neighbors Belize and Guatamala. Except for some time in the mid 20th centuary relations between Mexico and them have been good and they are also in America.
 
This is a difficult thing to do, not least because different CS states would have slavery distributed differently and taking different forms. The Carolinas and South Carolina in particular would be vulnerable, as would Louisiana. Arkansas, Tennessee, and Texas would have different issues unrelated to slavery screwing them up, as there weren't enough slaves in any of them to really destabilize the system more than the problem of postwar Unionism and the inevitable CS Reign of Terror would already do.

Belize was part of the British Empire not Mexico. Guatemala was part of Mexico for less than a generation and that just after Mexican Independence when borders were murky and any nationalist feelings for any particular area were weak. By 1860 the South was part of the US for 4 generations and the borders were well defined with US nationalism strong. They also didn't have the fugative slave/ slaver raids problem that the USA and CSA would have.

According to your logic, Austria must currently be burning with a secret desire to launch an aggressive war to reconquer Hungary and the Czech Republic, Sweden must be plotting an offensive against Norway, Britain is even now preparing the Royal Navy for an expedition against Ireland, Romania is preparing to move against Moldova, and Egypt is assembling its armies for an expedition into Sudan.

Respectfully, JR, you are falling into the trap of twisting history to fit your preconceived notions. That's not the way the world works.

Austria always had a different culture than Hungry. The fact it was a dual monarchy recognized that truth. Norway was always at least semi-independent of Sweeden going as far as the Norwegian Constitution was recognized by Sweeden which was not true of the South. Ireland is clearly an exception but there are always a few exceptions. As far as Sudan, it was given independence from the British Empire not Epypt.
 
The Dutch don't hate the Belgians.

Neither are the Dutch and the Belgians representative of a single history, either.

To be blunt, didn't the whole Northern Ireland thing actually validate JR's thesis more than it does this one? Austria doesn't have the army to do that even if it wanted to, Austria never had the same culture as Hungary, and Sweden and Norway did at times see various attempts by one to absorb the other. The history of actual divisions of countries of the same culture does validate his thesis. See North Korea and South Korea, the Indochina Wars, the Soviet attempts to regain Tsarist territory, Germany in terms of West and East Germany and in West Germany at least the desire to even reclaim parts of Germany that are now part of Poland.

For that matter, there's the Alsace-Lorraine issue and even the whole Hundred Years' War to show that this is older than steam.
