I fear you are correct. The only question is what will come after.

There will be a lot more than two sides to the war. The US will end, and at least three new nations formed.

Maybe more, perhaps the Mormons will realize their dream of an independent Deseret Republic for example. What three nations do you see? I'd probably see a small nation where the libs will be in one, we'd have our own, perhaps a revived Confederacy, and maybe an Aztlan with the fourth being Deseret.
