Interesting question.
It is, however, faced with the problem of all counter-factual speculations.
Is there any particular reason to believe things would not have turned out even worse had the CSA won its independence?
We know what happened when the Union won, so we assume none of the bad things would have happened if the other option had occurred.

Of course, you are correct. No one knows or can never know the answer to that. I just thought that I would throw it out there for speculation. :-)
