I'd love to see a series on TV or streaming like "For All Mankind" but for this scenario instead. The problem is, in today's Hollywood, there's no way they could make an impartial series

Are you attempting to make a comparison?

South would be made of very independent states as the founding fathers intended. North would be a bloated corrupt federal bureaucracy like you see today.

What makes you think there would only be two countries?
Secession is like eating Pringles.

You should do some more research on some of those founding fathers

No. The south gave the Yankees hell, but the Rebs just were not in a position of power with Allies and that access to supplies to do much more than what happened. It also didn’t help that the actual reason the war was fought was preservation of the wealthy to keep their human possessions. Remember poor whites were treated like shite back then too. But still anything had to be better than being owned.

Among the many problems we currently endure, is the issue of having a foreign culture pushed down our throats, to the point where it threatens the future of our existence.
An independent south would have have escaped that.

I fricking second this. The most noticeable way you can tell is the loss of southern accent from people in the south.

The South would never have made it far as a nation, they hitched their wagon to slave labor and agriculture. The Slavery would have ended at some point, but the damage was already done.

South wins by diplomacy and the North doesn’t want to fight a war:
Slavery ends probably around Brazil’s timeline or later, buttt it doesn’t really end
More than likely a greater scale Great Migration of blacks and poor whites go to the North.
The south invades Mexico and fails miserably because it’s only option is to go from up north and not the gulf like the USA did previously
The south doesn’t have the capacity or manpower to fight off Indian raids out west, so west Texas fails to find oil and stuff
By 1930s, anywhere south of Atlanta is seen as abandoned and economically destroyed. The rich planter class has either migrated to the USA, to Brazil, or the border states such as Virginia and Tennessee.
The economically depressed south becomes a haven for communism and radicalism to flourish. Plus, it more than likely imports farmer immigrants from Italy and Russia who express these ideals the most. In addition, mafias are much more prominent in the south than the north. There is conflicts of this due to the anti catholic/racial views of the Confederacy but that won’t have much of a choice at this point. The North is going to outcompete them for Germanic/Protestant immigrants.
IDK after this point tbh lol. More than likely a poorer backwater Argentina, maybe Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee apply to come back to the US but the rest of the south gets wrecked.
That certainly is a hell of a take.
Wrong as it may be, it is a hell of a take.

There wouldn’t have been a “Great Depression” if the south would have won. All recessions/depressions are orchestrated by our fearless leaders…just like ‘08 and the one we’re experiencing today.

Here is another thought.
The South wins but how much devastation did the South incur to achieve that win.
Where does the South get the money to rebuild?

Does that also include the one that happened during Trump's administration?

We’ve lost so much of what made us unique, which is sad.
My grandparents generation had beautiful Virginia accents, I have a standard American accent though.
