A little while ago,I saw this poor movie..The C.S.A. Where the Confederacy won the Civil War with intervention from France and Britain. Another thing that I have noticed here is that most people think that the South was not able to win the war,and even if they did..the CSA would not be able to survive mostly beyond 1900.
Why is this? Is this because slavery would become immoral? Resentment among the North? I've actually looked into it,and it is rather interesting that Russia supported the Union and Britain and France seemed to support the Confederacy.
In the movie,when the South won..Abraham Lincoln had to flee for his life and spent the rest of it in Canada. As many slaves fled to Canada as well,with the entire country under the Star and Bars..the CSA expanded..or rather annexed Mexico..Central America and all of South America..or most of it.
I remember hearing something of a "Tropical Empire" due to the vast untapped resources of Central and South America at the time. In the movie,the CSA actually had good relations with the Nazi's in World War 2 and even took most of Southeast Asia.
Let's say that the CSA survives,what then? Would it take everything south of California,Arizona,New Mexico and Texas? Would the Caribbean be taken as well? What would Europe think of the CSA? I know these topics have been asked endlessly..but this is perhaps the ultimate POD for the USA..
