I told some acquaintance about AH.com and he told me that he finds all the concept ridiculous. Well, but when I told him about one major question among the AH community, a Southern victory in the US Civil War, he told me that he thinks that the CS we reestablish slave trade across the Atlantic.

Well, I asked him why. He told me that "fresh flesh" would balance out the burden arising from the many illegitimate children of slaveholders and their female slaves. To many Thurmond biracial babies would lead to a home-grown end of slavery due to personal bondage to slave kids etc. Therefore you needed new slaves to keep slavery longlastingly alive.

Well, this sounds logic at first sight. But really, what did the British empire to end slave trade for if the supported CS would now reinstate that? And wasn't the prohibition of slave trade to the US in 1808 an unanimous vote?
