If the South had won the war, or better yet, there was no war, North and South just seperated peacefully.
Do you think there would still be USA/CSA, or would we have eventually reunited something like East and West Germany did?

Obama wouldn't be president right now, that much is certain.

NASCAR would be the national sport.
"Yee-Haaah" would be in Webster's Dictionary.

Interesting question worthy of intelligent discussion. Hard to do that here.

I would like to know.

I think this about covers it:

If The South Would a Won

Hank Williams Jr.

If the south would a won we would a had it made.
I'd probably run for president of the southern states.
The day Elvis passed away would be our national holiday.
If the south would a won we would a had it made.
I'd make my supreme court down in Texas and we wouldn't have no killers getting off free.
If they were proven guilty then they would swing quickly,
instead of writing' books and smiling' on T.V.
We'd all learn Cajun cooking' in Louisiana
and I'd put that capital back in Alabama.
We'd put Florida on the right track, 'cause we'd take Miami back
and throw all them pushers in the slammer.

Oh if the south would a won we would a had it made.
I'd probably run for president of the southern states.
The day young Skynyrd died, we'd show our southern pride.
If the south would a won we would a had it made.
"Play a little Dixieland boys. Ah yes!"

I'd have all the whiskey made in Tennessee
and all the horses raised in those Kentucky hills.
The national treasury would be in Tupelo, Mississippi
and I'd put Hank Williams picture on one hundred dollar bill.
I'd have all the cars made in the Carolina's
and I'd ban all the ones made in China.
I'd have every girl child sent to Georgia to learn to smile
and talk with that southern accent that drives men wild.
I'd have all the fiddles made in Virginia, 'cause they sure can make 'em sound so fine.
I'm going up on Wolver ton Mountain and see ole Clifton Cowers and have a sip of his good ole Arkansas wine.

Hey if the south would a won we'd a had it made.
I'd probably run for president of the southern states.
When Patsy Cline passed away that would be our national holiday.
If the south would a won we'd a had it made.
Olay he he he . I said if the south would a won we would a had it made!

Might even be better off!

The South did win. Have you ever spent time in any Yankee shithole city? The Winters long, Women are homely, Liberals run everything, taxes are high.

There would be a lot less hippies and a lot more tradition around.

Well, I guess Obama would only be president of the north. Doesn't sound so bad to me.

The French and British would have been delighted. The Spanish-American War never would have happened.

That means the all those goddamn yankees would need a passport to get into Florida and we could stop them from coming if we wanted. How can that be a bad thing?

Both would have been open to foreign exploitation.
The CSA, with its tyrannical government, would have been the first to fall to internal strife.
The USA would have become heavily dependent on foreign nations to buy its goods.

Are you basing these comments on the non-whites that tend to congregate in the urban areas? Many of the southern states have a higher percentage of ethnic minorities then the Yankee states.

I guess you have never been to California which has some of the best weather in the country.

I know the South is just awesome, you have garden spots like Jackson Mississippi, Montgomery Alabama, Atlanta Georgia, New Orleans Louisiana, etc, etc. Every state, every region has its shitholes. And Liberals? Well I can think of some awful liberals like Al Gore and the Clinton(s) and they are southern.

Yankee women are homely? Have you seen the women in California?

Harry Turtledove has an entire series based on this assumption. No matter which 'side' you're on, they make for interesting reading.

We would've made nice and reunited by now. But the new USA would be less powerful and prosperous than it is today.

Yeah, I have. I have also seen some southern shithole cities. I hate cities in general, no matter where there geographic location is. I also see plenty of smoking hot women here every day. WTF's your point?
