If the Confederacy won the Civil War?

After Mr. Stewart talked about the satire movie about what would have happened if the Confederacy had gained independence, I remembered this video.  This video goes into the possible scenarios if the Confederacy had, not necessarily won the Civil War, but dragged it on long enough for the Union have to let them go.  The creators don't go into very deep about the effects of what would have happened but rather their prediction on what would have happened afterwards.  Remember this is all up to opinion.

(I couldn't find the second video despite they saying there was.  And the comments are hilarious I would read them.)

  1. Here's another great video that outlines some other possible outcomes if the South won the Civil War: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwn-37jbJ-A

  2. One topic that both of these videos touch on is the issue of slavery. Both videos suggest that slavery would eventually be abolished in the Confederacy, either due to pressure from European countries or increased industrialization. I agree with the industrialization view, but I'm curious to hear what everyone else thinks—would slavery be continued in the South if the Confederacy won the Civil War?
