This is somewhat off the immediate topic, but the entirety of the thread begs one overall question to me: What's the social/political impact of a CSA government-in-exile, on the USA? Especially if they're based in Cuba, as some have suggested, and this leads to war? Do Radical Republicans have a stronger case to make that Confederates and Confederate sympathizers are less deserving of rights/property than the newly freed Black Americans? Could this lead to more upward mobility for Black Americans than IOTL, and could Jim Crow in the south be avoided? Segregation would likely still exist, as it already did in the north, but could its impact be mitigated, and might the whole system eventually be abandoned in the name of black & white Americans fighting side by side, against the Confederate scourge? This might be a bit too optimistic a take, but i'm curious what others think.
