Actually, I thought about that. If the CSA turned into the Western Hemisphere's South Africa, then the story might end the same way as SA's: under world pressure, Southern whites voluntarily yeild power to the black majority, who elect as their first president heroic, formerly-imprisoned dissident-hero Martin Luther King. That's a way better ending for black Americans than the current situation -- though it means those of us up North would have to live through the Great Cracker Migration of 1989.

How lovely. So the Southern blacks would only have had to live through 130 additional years of slavery and apartheid. Boy, that's something to wish for.
