    If the Confederacy wins the American Civil War, is the Union going to become revanchist over the next several decades and beyond?

    Considering how miniscule the US military was pre-1861 even a tenfold increase will not be a special burden. European countries with much larger militaries than the USA managed quite fine :)

    So, Good People, after the CSA wins what's the outlook in the North? Do the women embroider not "Home Sweet Home", "Cleanliness is Godliness" or "We Shall Be Murdered In Our Beds" but "Dixie Must Die", "Union Forever" or "Yankee For Teh Win" tapestries to hang around the house? Or, in part due...

    Sigh ... I forgot your tenuous link with what a thread is to be about. This thread has If the Confederacy wins the American Civil War in the title.

    Oh, we are taking it into account. Those 800 people will disseminate industrial know-how across the South. You might wish to note that he is now penniless.

    I've come across "the boys were placeholders to make Mexicans happy, while Maximilian's heir would be some European royal cousin". I've no idea how much substance there is to this claim.

    I bow to your superior knowledge. Nevertheless, the South has to buy manufactured goods from somewhere. If there is a CSA then it will buy less of the overpriced and shoddy Yankee goods and buy more of high quality, exquisite British, German or French goods it was denied by tariffs set up to...

    Simply being part of the USA is one of the causes of this. An USA without the CSA will have an econmy at least one third - of not more - smaller, while the CSA is almost certain to be more industrialised.
