had lincoln, the TYRANT, chosen PEACE instead of a needLESS, imperialist war of conquest against the new dixie republic (and in which a MILLION people died for NO good reason!), the CSA would have been very much like the USA was , before the BOR was subverted by the federal government/courts.

but since lincoln DID prosecute the UNnecessary war against the southland (in which EVERY citizen lost FREEDOM!), we'll never know for sure.

Assuming justices like Taney hadn't tainted that multistate alliance as well, you mean. If you're an on-the-bench-activist in a good cause, you're still an activist.

I like to imagine that there could have been such a free alliance of independent states, such that the people had established laws predisposed AGAINST government instead of for it. Heck, I like to imagine that the U.S. could one day again be such a state. However the Constitution may be flawed, it's a whole lot better than what we have now.
