I always wonder if an independent CSA would have been similar to other western nations, or more like Apartheid South Africa. I always assumed there would be a splintering, with Texas going its own way, possible taking Louisiana with it. New England was always itching to secede. Maybe you end up with 7 or 8 different countries with a similar feel to Europe. There is plenty of fiction about just such an occurrence.

This, but like 4-5 different countries. Texas would fight and I think win for Louisiana because of ports. Other states would eventually combine.

I could see Texas/Louisiana, a huge country in the SE from Kentucky to Mississippi to Florida, East coast South Carolina to Virgnia, then Everything West of Texas would eventually become it's own country.
