Wow, that's a lot to unpack there. Were the Confederates really that much more competent than those (victorious) Northern Aggressors? Sure all their elan and elegant maneuvering were ground down by attrition and the Norths logistical and financial superiority, but that's what war legitimately is. Looking back it seems they were doomed from the start and were foolish for not realizing it, hindsight's easy though.
If they had won, and the country was permanently divided, poor Ann might have had a tougher time persuading either smaller country to care about overseas entanglements in the first place. It's a nifty alternative history daydream but I don't see anything there to make a liberals head explode.
Apologies for the train thread derailment.
