What happens to Russian Alaska in a Confederate Victory?

Based off my post about American expansion after the civil war, https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...ter-a-csa-victory.453225/page-6#post-18049606.

In a alternate scenerio, where the Confederate States of America gains independence, what happens to Russia America, or Alaska, since in OTL, they sold Alaska two years after the American Civil war.

Either Alaska remain part of Russia or United Kingdom buys or conquer Alaska later. In this case it probably would become part of Canada. I can't see there being independent Alaska. Probably Americans are not going to buy the area.

Don't know if Alaska would gain independence, but that seems like the most fun option.

America (read: Seward) bought Alaska to strengthen the US presence on the Pacific; in a Confederate independence scenario, that's even more valuable since either Britain or France are outright hostile to the Union (be it openly supporting the Confederacy, or actually joining the ACW). A naval base or two in Alaska helps keep the north Pacific open - even if it's little more than a place to resupply, that has military value, and any bases would be near the friendly Russian nation.

So, America still buys Alaska; neither the reason Russia sold it, nor the reason America bought it, are changed.
