What would happen if the Union had won the second Civil War in the TL-191 series? Would they have attempted to reannex the rebellious countries? How would this affect the future of America?

Been a long time since I read the book, but wasn't that war the UK, France, and CSA all teamed up against just the US? That's not really a winnable war for the Union...
Could you tell me why exactly they would only demand a few states back and not the whole thing? If they still wanted to absorb it in the 1940s (as evidenced by reannexation after WWII), surely they'd want it merely 20 years after the initial secession. Unless I'm missing something?The Remembrance ideology wouldn't have taken hold in the US. They would have demanded a few states back as payment for the war. Mexico would still be in one piece. The CS would be weakened and perhaps adopt the remembrace ideology themselves. They would also do everything in their power to avoid another war at all costs, at least up until WW1 if the US isn't satisfied with their victory. US probably tries to reabsorb the CS after WW1.
That's easy enough, considering there's not much reason for the UK and France to ally with the CSA, if various threads around here are to be believed. And, with the bad blood between the UK and France around this era, it surprises me that so many put them on the same side so often.Been a long time since I read the book, but wasn't that war the UK, France, and CSA all teamed up against just the US?

Growing a brain is a fairly simply POD. What sort of plans do you think they'd use to defeat the Confederacy in Round Two?Well, it's possible for them to win, so long as they actually have a plan when they start the war. ICTL, they started the war with the aim of "fighting the Rebs again." There was no overriding strategy, no grand plan such as taking Richmond or Kentucky. And they rejected volunteer troops, thus sacrificing their edge in manpower.
So, basically you need to have the entire Union leadership grow a brain.
