Imagine this: the 1863 Chattanooga Campaign goes better for the South. As a result, the Atlanta Campaign starts later and lasts longer. On Election Day, 1864, Lincoln loses to George Pendleton. In December, a month after election day, Atlanta falls as Lincoln is determined to continue the fight until inauguration day. In March, newly-elected President Pendleton signs a peace accord with the Confederacy. Virginia (sans West Virginia), North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida (sans the Florida Keys) Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas would be part of the new CSA. Tennessee would remain in the Union, and the Mississippi would be internationalized, with any attempt to close it to Union trade being construed as a declaration of war. On May 9, 1865, this peace accord is approved by the Senate.
