Let's say that, for the sake of argument, the Confederacy manages to hold on long enough for the a McClellan win. We go through the old cliche of McClellan getting elected and cutting a deal to "let out wayward brothers go". What terms could the Confederacy expect to receive at the table? Would they press for independence, or accept status quo ante, with slavery preserved? If they went for independence, what would be the size of the CSA?

Assume, for the sake of argument, that the battle lines are roughly where they were in 1863-ish.
