If you like the model of Mexico's economy then you'd have liked an independent South.

When the manual agrarian society collapsed where would the millions of poor landless whites & blacks gone from the1890s to the 1920s that left the South and migrated to the North if they couldn't have crossed into the North?

The South would have been (economically & socially) closer to Latin America than what is is today.

You think today's social & economic problems are bad? It could be worse.

And it would have been worse.

Regardless, legal human slavery would have been outlawed before 1900 in the victorious American South. It was a dinosaur of a social concept.
