Wow, again with the politics and bashing of me...

Okay, allow me to explain my thinking that more or less ties all of this together...

During the American Civil War, the Confederate States of America desperately needed French and British support. To gain this support, they only waged a defensive war by refusing to invade Union land. Unfortunately, the planned alliance failed due to the slavery issue when Abraham Lincoln made the Civil War into a war on slavery. However, the defensive fight led by the South allowed them to win what became the War of Nothern Aggression. The Union troops just couldn't win against guerilla forces in Southern lands. During the 1870's, there were a series of skirmishes along the new border between the two American nations. Both the Confederacy and the Union gathered as much land as possible. Notably, the Confederacy took Cuba and lands in what used to be Mexico reaching to the Pacific. In the 1880's, both the Confederacy and the Union prosper being able to trade to a global market. Although the Confederacy stays out of the First Great War due to lingering resentment for the lack of French and British support during the War of Northern Aggression and the inability of the Congress to declare war without approval of all of the states, they use the war to prosper via their crops. The Union joins the war at the last minute giving the Allies a much needed surge of troops. Both American nations celebrate prosperity in the 1920's followed by the Stock Market Crash and the international depression. Confederate slaves, fueled by Marxist teachings and economic issues, rebel all throughout the Confederacy and force the Confederacy to drop its former racist institutions, lest the Confederacy fail. Due to the growing turmoil overseas, both American nations form a military alliance that helps to industralize the South and provide the North with much needed supplies. The Second Great War begins, but isolationism is still strong in America and both Countries. Alliances are formed with France and Britain involving a lend lease system. The Union is attacked at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese and the United States of America joins the war. Although the Confederacy stays out of the fight, they start to build up a large national military for the first time since the War of Northern Aggression. Before that, only a relatively small force was maintained for national defense with most of the territorial gains being made through purchases, albeit shady ones premised upon threats of war and other low tactics. Aircraft factories for North American and Consolidated were allowed to be built in Texas under allowing that several aircraft went to the new Confederate Air Force which simply changed markings by using the special "flag and bar" roundel on just the port side as temporary wartime scheme. The Confederacy joined the war just in time for the invasion of France. The Confederacy joined the war in the Pacific late during the war and was quickly followed by the Soviet Union. The atomic bombs that had been developed by the Union were deployed against the Empire of Japan and the caved under pressure from this new weapon and the addition of two new opponents.

Nice try guy, but your thinking has flaws.

You have the South with a internal civil war in the 1930s civil War, you mean like:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War this? And this is with a South with a tradition of prolong, viscous guerrilla wars that prevent the victor for forcing a peace.

Ask yourself
Short of state terror like the Soviet Union in the '20s or Spain the '30s how else is South going to be governable in the 1940s?

The post 1930s civil war is going to mean the winner are the communist or the fascists, those are the only two flavors in the 1930s. Ayn Raynd hadn't even wrote Atlas Shrugs at the time so Libertarian isn't even a flavor on the menu. How will the North and the rest of the world react to the Union of Socialist States of America or a Greater American Homeland in the 1940s?

You got only two possible souths in the 1940s; one just slobbering anti-capitalists just filled with memories of slavery and the evils of capitalism or the other raving fascists filled with nightmares of a what they regard as a sub-human underclass coming to kill their betters and their families. Cozing up to the North because Japan bombed the North's pacific fleet Hawaii isn't going to come from that.
