For any of you who are unfamiliar with this colorful character, I'll sum him up for you:
He was a racist white American who wanted to see the Anglo-Saxons rule the entire continent. When he saw that it wasn't likely that the American government was going to try to annex any more of Central America for the forseeable future, he decided to take matters into his own hands. After an unsuccessful attempt at creating his own nation in northern Mexico, he made a much more successful attempt in Nicaragua, actually taking the country for a while and declaring himself president. But his army got racked with illness and, fearing that his position was weakening, fled to New York City. He tried a third time, this attempt in Honduras, but he was killed shortly after arriving. For more info, I've got a wikipedia link:

My question is, when is the best POD for him acheiving his goal of building an empire in central America and having it annexed by the US? Would he have rebelled with the Confederacy? What would happen?
