What if the South Won the Civil war? A Confederate victory

In perhaps may be one of the spiciest videos I could ever create, there is a real question. Not just what would have happened if the south had won, but how could they have won? What are the events that lead up to this in the first place? Also Let me know in the comments below what I should tackle next

There's actually a bumper sticker you can buy down south that says "If I had known it would turn out like this I would have just picked the cotton myself"

There would be a Waffle House in Times Square. The National Anthem would be "Sweet Home Alabama". Elvis's birthday would be a National Holiday. Larry, The Cable Guy would be our foriegn minister. 🤣🤣🤣. I have to stop. This is way too much fun....

If the South won all restaurants would serve
Sweet Tea.

People in the comments need to remember that the South "winning" just means that the country would have successfully been split in two, NOT that the South would've conquered the North.
The Continental Army won the American Revolution, but that didn't mean that Great Britain became American territory.

It takes an above average knowledge of a given topic (in this case the Civil War) in order to 'speculate' an outcome.
Nicely done.

What if Stonewall Jackson was not shot at Battle of Chancellorsville? His death was a huge loss for General Lee.

Also, if Lincoln lost the election in 1864 (assuming Sherman doesn't destroy Georgia and remains in a stalemate), another possibility could have happened for a peaceful succession, even thou millions already died.

I remember someone that I met from North Carolina who had a striking resemblance to Abraham Lincoln, when I asked him what people down there thought of him, he said that there are plenty of them that are still fighting the civil war.

Part of what's missing is that the Federal Government fought a 40 year war against the Black Seminoles which depleted the troops and cost millions of dollars. The war was fought from 1818 to 1858.

I thought Hank Williams Junior already answered this question

[sscalercourtney]

If you were a slave in the Confederate states during the Civil War, to walk in the other man's shoes, how would you feel if the South had won the Civil War. 99.9% or so approach this question from that of being a free, white man. But suppose you, literally were a Southern slave in 1865? How would you feel then? Just curious.

[technician]

If the South won, we’d have quiet movie theaters. 😂

[shaned]

Im glad the slaves were freed, but Lincoln really didn't care if they were free, he said it himself.

[erikmartin]

One alternative most people don’t explore in the South “winning” would be guerilla warfare over a long period of time aka Vietnam style.

[jackbpace]

They confederacy would have ended up freeing the slaves pretty soon anyhow, as it was the direction the world was going at the time. The northern industrialists found out that only paying wage slaves when you need them was much more profitable.

[floodhunter]

You should really go into more alternate histories, it’s so fascinating

As a southerner, born and raised in Alabama steeped in the culture of the old south and taught to respect those men on both sides and honor our ancestors whom fought and sadly in many cases died (in my case about 75% of the men in my family) in that conflict, I feel that virtually 90% of you tubers get the south very wrong and get the modern southerners view of that conflict wrong. I do not agree with everything this man said however I feel this feller did a pretty good job overall.

We are all American and we country boys descendant of those brave men are proud of their struggle whilst also seeing the wrong in the political reasons for the war. We are all American and that unity was achieved in a furious bloodlust that seen us slaughter one another. We are thankful for those men and their deeds and the honor we derive and what makes us “southern” was solidified in those 4 years.

God Bless our Southland and God Bless these United States 🇺🇸

No Sir He Did Not Try To Bring About A Peaceful Resolution..

[Akeche]

Slavery would have still eventually been abolished, because it wasn't a sustainable practice as automation advanced.

[thepowerofluck]

I like how he's not afraid to disagree with other alt histories as well as uses EU4 to make good visuals

[toainsully]

The novel series, Southern Victory by Harry Turtledove gives us a full alternate history of how the Confederate States of America reshaped the late 1800's, early 1900's and both World Wars
