Dysentery can fill graveyards, but that doesn’t mean it can govern.

No way the south would have operated independently. Even without abolitionists in the US, slavery was ending around the globe. The basis for the southern economy was ending and adaptation was nowhere to be found.

So are you are one of those "in the antebellum South no whiteys did any work" types? The only exercise whites got was from beating slaves.....

You are south hating bigot. Let me tell what the North would be with out the South, A FULLY COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP.

I also believe the southern states would have fractured and turned their guns on each other.
The western states in the CSA wouldn’t have taken orders from Richmond. Hell probably Alabama and Georgia wouldn’t have either.
It would have wound up with 7 or 8 failed independent states.
