Also regardless of the discussion of IF the CSA could scrape up a victory, I think that it is essential that massive reforms be made immediately following the war, as I can see the first drafted Constitution spewing problems for the fledgling nation initially. So I can see the OTL CSA Constitution being something more along the lines of the US's Articles of Confederation.
Now I'm not saying the CSA leaves the "Confederate" element of itself, but it would clearly need to edit and switch some things around if it plans to last more than a decade. I believe that a union type system that just focuses severely towards state's rights could take shape if it lasts past the 50 year mark.
Additionally, the issue of slavery is likely to work itself out as the international community completely ignores and refuses conversation with the CSA, as well as the agricultural element loosing its "mass" profitability by in large by the end of the 1870's if not far earlier for the region that is now the CSA. So just simply based on forced industrialization based off of a need for profit and its own industry due to its lack of international appeal, as well as the attempt to become a larger player on the world stage, coupled with its need for conversation with outside nations, would more or less lead them with no choice but emancipation by around 1880-90. However, that's not saying that "Civil Rights" in any way follows emancipation. I can imagine something along the lines of very low wage industrial workers and sharecroppers up until the 1920's-30's before any progress in this regard is made at all. With "Civil Rights" being gained by probably 1975-80 if not simply out of international influence and demand.
