A national magazine did a feature on that idea a few decades ago, If the
South Had Won the Civil War. I don't recall which magazine, though. The
possible Confederate States of America map they had showed Cuba as a
state, but that is about all I remember from so long ago.

The US Civil War was about more than slavery. At that time the main federal
tax was import duties. The south, having little ability to manufacture
goods paid a very disproportionate share of these taxes while the north made
a lot of their own stuff and didn't need many imports. Lincoln's
he's some kind of australian revisionist who believe in just killing
everyone who disagrees with him. i didn't know that such people still
existed. frightening.
if a sovereign nation has policies that you don't agree with, just burn and
kill them until they comply. maybe that is how they do it
