Visiting Washington DC I wondered if the US would allow an international border to appear right across its capital in the event of a negotiated settlement for ACW.
I wonder if, in this hypothesis, Virginia borders would be redrawn further to the south in order to allow a buffer space between the Confederacy and Washington DC or if the US would move its capital further to the north or to the west.
Given the symbolism of having Washington DC as the national capital since early 19th. Century, my guess is that Virginia borders would be redraw...in that light, where do you think that the actual borders between US and CS would be?
