Anyone who finds alternate history at all fascinating has probably pondered the question: What if the south had won the civil war? While I find it relatively simple to theorize a plausible scenerio in which they could win the war, I find it terribly difficult to imagine any scenerio in which the CSA could have prospered. Some people speculate about railroads, and conquests of Latin America but as imagine these things I wonder such questions as: " How could a nation with little or no industry, and no desire to industrialize, ever survive in an ever industrializing world? How could a country with secession written into its constitution ever stay united long enough to reassemble the resources, especially an army, capable of a conquest of Latin America? Unable to answer these questions I turn to you my peers and ask the question: " So the CSA wins...now what?"
