Question

What would we be doing now if the South would of won the civil war ?

Answer 1

It's not likely that even the southern confederacy would have stayed together considering there were states threatening to secede from the Confederacy during the Civil War.  Some European country would have swooped down and conquered a good portion of the south and another country would have taken the rest, most likely the south would have been split up by the French, British and maybe Spanish.  

Answer 2

It's awfully hard to say, but it would probably be a lot harder to go to Florida for spring break.

Answer 3

The states would still enjoy the rights they were guaranteed by the Constitution, the war with the Native Americans would have never happened, the Westward expansion of America would have ended somewhere around Nebraska and everything West of that would be owned by Spain, we wouldn't have such a huge, out of control, Federal Govt, we wouldn't have an illegal immigration problem, most of America's GNP would be agricultural, we would still execute people who deserve it promptly.

Answer 4

We would probably look no different than we do now as a nation.  Y'see, the world economy was changing even as the war raged, and within a decade of the end of the war, the South's economy would no longer have supported the need for massive amounts of manual labor.  The Southrons would have freed their slaves and sued for re-admission to the Union.

Answer 5

If they had won, they would have lost eventually some other war against slavery

Answer 6

We'd be two separate countries unless someone had bothered to try and unite us.  The two countries might also hate each other.
