The South would probably be most like Brazil.
However,I don't think if,for example,the Confederacy managed to make the US capitulate the week after Bull Run that things would have been settled once and for all by any means. |

From what I recall, the N. had issues with its food demand and issues with markets for its manufacturing. The South's trading with Europe was a thorn in the N'ths side. The south had issues with import taxes that made it costly to trade with Europe (and forced it into less profitable trading) with the north.
I would need to research, but suspect transatlantic shipping to the south would still be more comical than with South America. - hard to say. Mexico was no ecomic powerhouse. Texas succeeded in its revolution and I don't think Mexico ever had desire to expend the costly resources to get it back-especially since it was bankrupted in its fight against Spain . |

I believe there would be flare ups over land disputes as borders were still being drawn west of Missouri. The discovery of the value of oil and its abundance in Texas would have definitely made for interesting economic times for both north and south as well.
Who knows. I think even though it's not perfect, we are better off whole. |

here's what i always say..
south would have remained agrarian. slavery would have persisted for perhaps another 30 to 40 years. the united states divided would have not developed into the power it became. most likely we would have not fought in wwi. if so, most likely only the north would have become involved. the germans would have won wwi, and either immediately thereafter would have turned on the soviet union who was especially weak towards the end of wwi. germany, having won wwi would not have been humiliated. hitler would not have come to power, wwii would not have occured, the brits would not have taken over large parts of the middle east as they did after turkey lost in wwi. there would have been no partition of palestine and the founding of israel. bottom line the south would have been a backward agrarian nation, the north would have been weak. and the japanese would most likely dominated the pacific also. and perhaps even communist china would never have risen. |

The north would have been a wasteland. They would forget how to govern themselves and probably break up into separate tribe like groups. They would no longer be able to grow crops or produce goods. They probably would be unable to make babies as well. It might sound crazy, but it looks like the south saved the union by losing the war.

By now the Confederacy would have subdivided into at least 230 fiefdoms and declared war on each other at least 250 times. Two thirds of them would be anarchist wastelands.

The South supposedly had designs on the Caribbean and Mexico/Central America. I imagine that if they'd been successful, you'd have seen an empire of sorts, and slavery there would have continued for a long time.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The South wouldn't have any major gun makers. A modern south born out of the Confederacy would have no shortage of sporting or military arms. Or agriculture, and probably plenty of mineral resources. Most likely it would extend far into the modern western states, and probably include Missouri, maybe Colorado, Utah, and Nevada or parts of them. Kansas would have ended up in the north after more years of blood. |

The south wouldd have lost thier aparthide and the farmers would be driven from thier lands by blacks.... or just murdered.
The South was not sustainable as a oligarchy-slave state. Becuse that is what it was. What is worse is that the Austrians and Prussinas/Germans that helped arm The South would have kept then nuetral in WWI and probably WWII much like Ireland was. If the US was not renuified we would be totally fucked. Let the butt hurt flow....
