What would have happened had the Confederacy won the Civil War?

The south could have won early on. In 1861 the British east India trading company offered (among other things including bullets and money) the confederate states 10 iron ships. These iron ships were ocean going and (along with other wooden ships) could have broken the union blockade and even raided the north. The now well supplied confederate army could have raised more soldiers and they would have been better supplied. The people of the confederate states would also have food and other normal day supplies. If this offer had been excepted which Pres. Davis did not, It very likely would have led to a confederate invasion of the north after a victory in Virginia. The northern people would have very likely called for peace if there major cities that were in reach (including dc and Philadelphia) were taken.
The south was making moves to abolish slavery, over a period of time often thought to be 20 years. Total abolition probably coming around 1880. The south would have very likely become allies with Great Britain and France while the us would side with Germany (or early on Prussia). The confederacy may have also considered southern expansion into Central America and even south America.

North Carolina vs. the Confederacy! The Confederacy was trying to North Carolina (NC) to stay with the Confederacy. The Union was nicest to NC so, the Confederacy could lose one of it's states or possibly see if NC could help make the Confederacy give up and let the Union win! At the end of the Civil War, the Union wins anyway!!! The Civil war lasted for six years (1860-1865). NC is still with the Confederacy after the Civil War is done with.
