I'm sure somebody already wrote about this but I wanted to start a new conversation (provided that people actually read this and post thoughts).

The Confederate Constitution gives the President a six-year term without the possibility of re-election.  The President also has a line-item veto.

Here is a link to the CSA Cabinet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_States_of_America#Executive

Judah Benjamin, the Secretary of State, was Jewish, and I'm confused by how these people would have wanted a Jewish man to represent them in foreign affairs.

The Congress pretty much stayed the same.

How I need someone to help me out: If the South had won, does that mean the North would have been forced to join the CSA or does that mean there would have been two separate countries?  I want to write a Timeline for this but I don't know where to start.

Wow...thanx y'all lol for the quick comments...

This TL is mighty hard to write.  I guess there would be a point in which even the Confederacy would have a Civil Rights Movement or a Revolution of some kind, because it would be like South Africa in having a legally-approved white supremacist society.

I want to know how these two countries would interact.  Would the United States of America and the Confederate States of America eventually become allies or would it be like North and South Korea are where you can't cross over unless you wanna get shot?

Culturally I don't think things would have been that different.  In Pennsylvania, Southern things are usually always in style - we have lots of Confederate things already, Confederate merchandise at all of our truck stops, hell the Confederate flag is on more pickups than the American flag is.  In many ways, the South did win...at least a little.
