What would America be like if the Confederate Army won the Civil War?

[DPmaster]

Was watching the movie, Glory, and I thought about this. How much different would the United States (if we would even be called that) be if the Union lost? Would slavery still exists? etc.

 

[Mo0o]

Probably not, i doubt slavery would still exist simply because of the social reforms that Europe went through, the Confederacy would have been put through really heavy political pressures. However i would think racism would be a little worse.

More Republican.

We'd all look like this

The USA wouldn't be around, or if it was (in whatever form) it wouldn't be a world power. Despite my distate for a strong central government, there were many things lacking in the original union.

It would be a much more civilized and harmonious society that's for sure.

now hopefully we'll have another revolution and get rid of the northeast and califonia.

one can dream though.

I didn't think the confeds wanted to take over the north, they just wanted to do their own thing. So if they did win, they might still be their own country. I wonder how this would've affected the rest of the world. No united America to help in WW2. Maybe no Vietnam.

You mean more Conservative. The label Democrat and Republican flip parties every 80 years or so. Lincoln was a Republican but clearly a liberal.
