Re: If the South won the Civil war?
[ QUOTE ]
actually, the only reason alaska became a state was so we could have a an airfield capable to reach any point in the globe in a short period of time... oil was discovered after, otherwise the soviets wouldn't have sold it. It was cold war strategy. [/ QUOTE ] I don't see the relevance of this to the Civil War. Seward's Folly was in 1867. The Soviets you refer to didn't exist at the time. It didn't need to be a state to acheive the goals you are talking about; e.g. Guam isn't a state. And so on. Ugh.

Re: If the South won the Civil war?
I think you mean the War of Northern Aggression.

Beat me to it, Jake.
For one, we wouldn't have to worry about the Federal government regulating so many things that should be left up to the states.

Re: If the South won the Civil war?
I think he's actually talking about the nonfiction book What If? .
Harry Turtledove has written a whole series of books about this, called American Empire . The South wins the Civil War, and the USA/CSA fight World War I tooth and nail on American soil. A pretty grim scenario, although we do take over most of Canada.

Re: If the South won the Civil war?
Clearly, slavery would exist in the southern United States in 2005 if the North hadn't won the war. Duh.
