"...what would the country be like had the South won the civil war."
I think the CSA and USA would have lived side by side in an uneasy peace. The Feds would continue to eye the Confederates with suspicion and continue attempts to coax the rebels into inequitable treaties and trade deals. The CSA would have fought the Spanish American War (perhaps other wars in Central and South America) without USA support. Both would have fought as allies in the two World Wars of the 20th Century.

had we won your war for LIBERTY in 1861-65, i feel that the USA would have fought on the GERMAN SIDE in WW1.
the damnyankees just can't stand the thought of FREEDOM.
what they DO want is NATIONAL CONTROL of every facet of everyone's life. and of COURSE, they ALWAYS KNOW what is GOOD FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILY (SARCASM BUTTON: ON!)
