Yeah, probably the worst consequence of such a turn of events. Can't think of anything worse.

Disney World isn't even the only Disney park in the country, let alone the world. We wouldn't need to go to Florida.

But boy am I glad they lost. I can't even imagine slavery still being a thing today.

It wouldn't be a thing today. Slavery was on it's way out in most developed countries even before the Civil War started. Even if they won they would have stopped doing it eventually if only because trade would be hindered as every other country stopped supporting it.

i think things would have had to go pretty different for them to win. Like France would have needed to ally with them at the very least.

It's true though. Slavery was dying out and would eventually disappear in most of the developed world within the next century. There's no scenerio where the Confederacy continued to have slaves into the 21st Century.

Do you really think a country thats entire economy relied on slavery would have abruptly ended slavery shortly after fighting a civil war specifically to preserve slavery?

Abruptly? No.

Over time? It's possible. Far from certain, and let's not ignore that there are many powerful countries out there that have no issue with slavery, contrary to the claim it's a thing of the past. But that doesn't specifically rule out that things might've still changed eventually in the CSA. It just means it's far, FAR from guaranteed.

Even if slavery had died out like you said it would, Black people in the CSA would still have far less-than-standard living conditions and would not have been given basic civil rights.

So it would have still been a bad place for Black people.

You have absolutely no idea what youre talking about.

Every post you make would be a prime post for r/confidentlywrong.

Youre a terrible person, stop posting here.

I dont see any way that they just completely abandon it within a generation

There are many historians which say the opposite though. The value of the slaves in the south far exceeded the value of the land. It was deeply engrained in their economy. Which is why they were willing to go to war for it.

And look at our history. Even with slavery abolished, people of color were still treated like shit for the 100 years that followed. We definitely would have needed to use force to end slavery.

Assuming the Confederacy still existed in 2022, I have trouble believing Disney World would have even been built in that timeline. I envision the Confederacy of that timeline as being a 3rd world country. Anyway, we would still have Disney Land in California
