The so-called "independent South", as you call it, began as an oppressed country already in a downward spiral.

Take away, from the USA, the South in the 19th century and by the end of the 20th century the USA would be a totally socialist, if not communist country. An independent South would be a conservative country, to argue otherwise is to declare your historic incompetence.

And under the precedents set by Jeff Davis in the 19th century, an independent confederacy by the end of the 20th century would be a totalitarian police state with a socialistic economy and a society most likely resembling South Africa at the height of apartheid. To declare otherwise shows an abysmal lack of historical knowledge of the Davis regime and the policies he enacted.
