If the South had been successful they would have become a neo-colonial outpost for Great Britain and France. They would have been an agricultural state in a world ruled by the Industrial Revolution. Lets say their strategy in 1864 worked out and Lincoln lost his bid for re-election. Their economy was in a complete shambles by that point. You do know it costs money, real hard currency, to maintain a large military establishment. The Confederacy lacked the economic heft to place it among the world’s great powers in the 19th Century. There would have been no need for for a foreign invasion. The British, French, and Germans would have just bought the place piece by piece.
You sir know nothing of southernrs, good day and get a clue.
“They would have been an agricultural state in a world ruled by the Industrial Revolution”
Instead, they became States ruled by an extreme left-wing liberal North.
