  1. Confederate victory in ACW: Impact on ideology?

  5. Would an independent Confederacy centralize after an 1865 peace settlement?

    Say the usual cliche of a peace candidate wins in 1865 and grants the Confederacy l its independence. I think giving the shape of the Confederacy at that time, the South would've been forced to change its philosophies of states' right t centralization
  6. What would the development of the independent Confederacy's Transcontinental Railroad look like?

    In my TL, the Confederacy gets its independence after the 1864 election, electing a peace candidate, due to war weariness. In the peace negotiations, the Confederacy gets the Arizona Territory and Kentucky (due to them seceding in my TL) The Confederate government repeals it's anti internal...

    Franco-Austrian Alliance after a Confederate victory?

    Hello. I currently have my own Confederate victory timeline in the works. As of now, in regards to alliances and diplomacy, I've been using the typical "USA joins Central Powers" model, likely because my own timeline was inspired heavily by TL-191, and came into being because of my desire to...

    Philadelphia as the capital of the US after a Confederate victory in the ACW

    Let's say that the Confederates win the American Civil War in the fall of 1862, and postwar, the US gov't relocates to Philadelphia, due to D.C. now being on the border. How does this impact the development of Philadelphia, now the administrative capital of the United States?
