In hindsight, we might be better off today if the south won. Our federal tax money would not be flowing from blue to red states. Then they could outlaw abortion and all the whit trash chicks could come north for safe abortions. No gay folks would live in the south, so no problems with the marriage thing. They could cut taxes for the rich, pollute and intoxicate their children, then cut medical funding. They could cut education spending, that's socialism. Then we could all laugh at our ignorant, poor, sick, semi-retarded neighbors.
Anyone who thinks we would be better off if the South had won the war needs to read Turtledove's "The American Front" series. You can disagree with him, but both the US and the CSA would have given up many high ideals in order to defeat the other.
