If he is treated right, a loss for the Union and a gain for the Confederacy.

I seem to remember browning being one of the Rebels in the First Great War. I believe it's in Walk Through Hell
And what if the designs are somehow "acquired" by the U.S. before the FGW? That solves the problem.

Here's my interpretation of modern carriers of TL-191 USA, which possess the largest carrier force on the planet.

Who is the name giver of the La Follette class, it sounds French.
That would be President of the United States Charles W. La Follette, who was Vice President when the Confederate Invasion of 1941 killed off the current President and promoted young La Follette to glory; while victorious in the Second Great War (it helped that he was willing to admit how much he didn't know about waging war and let the experts get on with the job), he was ousted in the Election of 1944 and his final fate remains unclear.
Whatever he got up to after leaving the Presidency, he seems to be well-enough remembered to have become the namesake of a whole class of ships (Presumably for having the nerve to stand up to Jake Featherston, the moral courage to look at the 'Population Reduction' and say "NOPE. We are going to be BETTER than this and not just a little Better than this", as well as the the good luck to survive being bombed in the first place).

While I love your Expectation of this Division and it’s history, but I don’t think that “ Little Germany” will be Declined like in OTL because Anti-German Sentiment of the the Great War will never happened cause of the Relationship of Central Power (including Germany, the Homeland of these Immigrants came from)
And I Expecting that Immigration from Germany will be more than our timeline and German Immigrants will helped the Recover of the General Slocum Tragedy by moving in the Neighborhood of “Little Germany”.
But never all I love your Posted, man

Can I borrow the US Flag?
My collage of different Union Armed Forces Small Arms of the SGW
I found the flag here: https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/fic_hfr3.html#us
Nice! I believe I have the pieces to make a miniature like this without too much trouble, and I might make one.
So, which carriers are these analogous to? Is the Remembrance Class analogous to, say, the Gerald R. Fords of our world?
I find it slightly chilling that such a baby-faced recruit is so happy to be serving in a war zone; could we be looking at the next Gordon McSweeney?
On a more serious note, I'm trying to decide what little details might help sell this as a specifically SOUTHERN VICTORY jarhead - perhaps a trophy CSA battle flag? - rather than simply an excellent illustration of a USMC soldier of the early-to-mid 20th Century, but not as we know it (I am rather assuming this fine fellow represents a fairly late war marine, presumably serving somewhere subtropical; perhaps the coast of Georgia or South Carolina?).
In any case, please allow me to compliment you on your excellent taste in artist and character design; might I please ask what references you drew upon? (Also, did you provide the artist with a detailed description or allow them much more room for their own imagination to run free?).

Yeah, the Remembrance-class is analogous to Gerald R. Ford-class, La Follette-class is roughly analogous to Nimitz-class, Pittsburgh-class is analogous to Enterprise-class, and the Delaware-class to Kitty Hawk-class.
For stuff like this, yes, you do need to be detailed and say what you want and don't want, but you also need to get good visual references. In fact its mostly just sending them visual references and cobbling them together to make something new, combined with seeing which colors work. Since I can barely draw, I tend to use stuff that already exists in our world as a reference. Makes it simple.
My take on the awards and decorations that might be given to a man like Gordon McSweeney. Mostly guess work based off what I've read, besides his two Medals of Honor. Of note though - it was said that he was award an "oak leave cluster" to represent his second MOH, but as far as I can tell that's not a thing that you do for this kind of award. So I decided to show the two ribbons.
This is still kind of a draft, but you have any input as to what should be added (or removed) please let me know.

Very sensible!😊
Out of curiosity, might I please ask what sort of blurb would you provide with this piece, we’re it a plate in an Osprey Man-at-Arms book?
Sure, I can try to.
US Marine, 19th Marine Regiment, 3nd Marine Division - Baja, Mexico 1943
Formed in November 1941, following training in California, the marines of this regiment would take part in the campaign to seize Baja California from Mexico in 1943, earning a good reputation as a hard-fighting unit. They would later go on to take part in amphibious operations to liberate Haiti in 1944. This marine's uniform is typical the for hot, dry climate of Baja, originally developed for warm, tropical environments around the Caribbean and Pacific Islands. His helmet is the M1935 Steel Helmet painted in the two color "Sand" pattern used for the Baja Campaign. His webbing and equipment are not special to the marines and could be found in widespread use among the US Army. His weapon is the M1903A3 Springfield Rifle, a perfectly capable weapon that, despite desperate calls and vigorous attempts to replace it with a semi-automatic rifle, remained the primary infantry weapon throughout the course of the war.
