Two Americas

The American Civil War had no turning battle, and both sides continued to fight in stalemate. By the late 1860's, both governments agreed to a ceasefire, and by the mid 1870's the war was over. Both nations agreed to recognize the others sovereignty. Though both nations did not have a relationship like that of the Koreas, there was no diplomacy between the two until the end of World War II. During WWII, the United States sided with the Allies after the attack at Pearl Harbor. The Confederate States sided with the Axis side in both idealism and not wanting to be a part with the US.

After WWII, the CSA continued to be a nation during the Cold War, and abolished slavery, but continued to have racist ideals. The USA and the USSR were the two superpowers. The CSA only got into the conflict because Cuba became communist. The USA and USSR were the two space nations, the CSA developed a space program, but never sent people into space. During the late 1970's, the US and CS began to work more closely with each other. After the collapse of the USSR, the two nations began to cooperate closer. When the two Germanys unified, talks began of the unification of the Americas. Today, both nations work close to each other, but unification is both possible and unlikely.
