Well, you may be right about what would have happened if the Civil War had gone the other way. But I guess we'll never know. If you write your own alternative history novel about that era, I'll buy a copy.
Turledove also wrote a science fiction novel about the Civil War as well called "Guns of the South". It's about how some white supremacist from the 21th century use a time machine to bring back a trainload of AK-47's to General Lee's army (the cover painting of General Lee cradling an AK is classic).
The South wins the war and Lee eventually becomes president of the CSA. Interesting idea and Turtledove knows how to tell a story.

Can you imagine the fighting that would've went on for years over the western territories. Or maybe there would've been a parallel established. But then again, being that the United States had such an advantage industrially, the CSA may not have had much say in the matter.
