Some of you may know me from FILLING THE GAPS (though doubtless you are better acquainted with the work of my most splendid colleagues), a thread dedicated to fleshing out Mr Turtledove's Timeline-191 to our own satisfaction, but while the question that brings me here today in order to harness your scholarship was inspired by that particular thread it seemed General enough to fit more comfortably elsewhere.

In a nutshell - had the Confederate States of America truly achieved its Independence, how might the Southern Cabinet and the Confederate Executive Departments represented there have changed over time? (assuming that the Confederate States of America retained a reasonable degree of coherence and Constitutional continuity into the 20th Century, rather than promptly collapsing into a sequence of subsidiary secessions and Revolutionary Uprisings).

Having started with a President & Vice President and Secretaries of State, of the Treasury, of War and of the Navy, as well as an Attorney General and Postmaster General, what positions might have been added - or subtracted - in the years since Secession?

How might these changes mirror those in the composition of the United States Cabinet and how would they differ according to the distinct attitudes and requirements of old Dixie? (for example one finds it very easy to imagine a Confederate Cabinet picking up a Secretary of Agriculture, but more difficult to conceive of them acquiring a Secretary of the Interior, given that the States are likely to put up more resistance to the Central Government attempting to set aside large portions of their own territory for the sake of National Parks!).
