USA/CSA selling territory

Well, there have been a thousand threads and TLs where the USA or CSA buy half of the world if they want it. Now the task is simple: Can you make the opposite happening?
 
In a CSA victory TL they always seem to acquire New Mexico or Oklahoma...I can see the CSA selling those fairly easily...especially when they find out slavery is not economical there.

I have a hard time seeing the USA selling territory unless cash was a an agreement with some kind of turtledoveesque transfer of Kentucky or something.
 
not the mainland US or Hawaii, but I could see the US selling all those specks of land in the Pacific we acquired in an absentminded moment; I suppose we'd have to assume that the US decided that the far Pacific just wasn't worth having anything in, not sure how you'd do that...

Perhaps if the US doesn't get the Phillipines and Hawai'i, they'd consider selling the few remaining islands (which I guess would just be American Samoa?) to Japan or someone?
 
Guys

Could there be something like the obtaining of Florida or the gains from Mexico after 1848? I.e. a defeat in a war which sees land lost but a token payment from the victory?
