In hypothetical Northern secessions, usually AH writers either have the now Southern-dominated United States basically not caring that the North seceded and letting them go, or if the South does attempt to force the North back into the Union, the attempt fails and the North wins their independence. What I'm interested in is a scenario in which, for whatever reason, the North secedes and the South successfully defeats the North in an ensuing civil war, and in doing so the South basically has the ability to reconstruct (or deconstruct if you like) Northern society as it sees fit.

I'm open to what this Northern "confederacy" looks like, but I would say at the least it should contain the New England states and maybe New York and Pennsylvania.

So what would a Southern 'reconstruction' of the Yankees look like?
