In the 'CSA expansion' thread, many people were claiming that the USA would start a war in a scenario where the CSA tried to expand into Latin America. This brings up an important question--how will the USA view the CSA? The USA could either see the CSA as illegal, and view the land as rightfully belonging to the USA. On the other hand, when the CSA first left the Union, many said the USA would be better off without the stain of slavery, and others that the CSA had the right to leave the Union peacefully. These views could lead to better relations with the CSA, or relations at least that aren't outright hostile. Either way, the war will end with either European intervention or the Union losing the political will to fight, neither of which will leave the Union eager for a round two. What do you all think of this topic?
