State suicide theory

I would think that there would be fewer states made than there were originally. That would support a single large black state. I could see that as a tool to weaken southern power in the senate
 
when will HT google the butterfly effect?

that being said neo-Confederates for years and years isn't that out there, I remember a story, Harry Truman's Mother was a Daughter of the Confederacy (her house was burned down under General Order No. 11) when Harry had his mother over to the White House he asked her if she'd like to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom, she told him she'd rather sleep on the floor
Wonder what she would have thought of Truman desegregating the army if she'd live an extra year to see it?
:D

That's more or less the opposite of what would happen.

They'd likely make as many black majority states as possible while carving off the pro-Unionist white areas like W. Virginia and E. Tennessee as new states as well and then just lumping the remainder of the rebellious white territory into as few states as possible.

Exactly, they would get less senators and representatives along with less electorial votes that way.
