How would subsequent wars have been affected the Confederates had won the Civil War?
I find it fascinating and am writing an alternative history book (I already have ideas, but I’d like to get more perspective on the topic). Particularly WWI and WWII.
I’d say we still would have fought WW1 and WW2 on the Allied side. Britain and France during the war sympathized more with the South because the South’s government was similar to an aristocracy and also held more economic resources they needed.
I also believe slavery would have been abolished. Lee probably would have become president (like Grant did) and since he was more of an abolishionist (he didn’t own slaves too) he probably would have ended slavery.
The North would be the one crippled economically, and in my opinion if this happened we would not be as strong a nation. With Northern railroads and mines in shambles, economic progession probably would be much slower than it was when the North won. the South would also be able to industrialize at its slow pace. Maybe the South would own Alaska?
The population would also suffer far greater, since the North’s population at the time was much greater than the Souths. Business, the army, etc. would suffer.
Who knows how many great minds we would have lost, how many inventions would be lost, and what would happen to Lincoln. Maybe they would be arrested, maybe not. It depends on who would be elected into the government.I don’t know the mindsets of every Confederate government member at the time, so i don’t know what probably would have happened. Considering this, who knows how many great minds were lost anyways.
I also think the CSA would have expanded into Central America, and maybe even Cuba, considering the Souths relations with Mexico and such at the time.
There would probably be another war sometime in the future.
Just my opinions, you don’t have to like/use them. I’d go to the library or bookstore and look for books on this. The book below is one i’d think you like. I haven’t read it myself, but based on user ratings it seems very good.
