Scenarios about 'Southern independence'

The concept of Southern independence refers to the historical movement for the Confederate States of America to establish sovereignty separate from the United States during the American Civil War (1861-1865). This secessionist effort was primarily motivated by Southern states' desire to preserve slavery and their agricultural economy against perceived Northern political and economic dominance. In alternate history scenarios, Southern independence explores timelines where the Confederacy successfully established itself as a separate nation, examining potential political, economic, and social consequences for North America and global geopolitics.
