Sure, what the hell.
History is definitely written by the winners, though. It's another scenario where I can't imagine the US losing (though it seems more plausible than The Man in the High Castle, since I really don't think people would have been okay with the Axis Powers winning WW2).

There's some interesting things you could do.

so, no. that labor is not "dirt cheap" due to the security required to maintain, feed, and house it; the price of labor always must factor in opportunity costs against what is being given up (mechanized, skilled labor); abolition of slavery in europe impacted the supply of slaves shipped to western nations; etc --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

Slavery in 2017 sounds far-fetched.
But the idea of a split United/Confederate States in 2017 sounds interesting. And how the two national cultures would have diverged. Maybe the Confederacy actually maintains a super hard "states rights" stance while thr US becomes more and more centralized around the federal government. That dichotomy would be cool.

So looking forward to that. Second, the history makes no damn sense. The South was always going to lose and Slavery was on its way out even back then.
