The North would have simply invaded again when both nations disagreed on territorial expansion to the west.

Both "nations" would have been a lot weaker. My guess is that some other world power would have taken over one or both.

ETA as a WAG from a non-historian: I think Britain would have more or less recolonized the North, and Spain eventually would have taken over the South.

Yeah. But didn't it still have Cuba? Only reason I said Spain is the Spanish American War.

How about this: The French win in Mexico and then decide to take over the South?

Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here,
The republic’s changed a lot in a hundred years,
And I don’t think it’s working like you planned,
Mr. Lincoln we could use a hand
