^I agree with this mostly, but I don't believe that the confederacy would, by any stretch, become a socialist country. Theres just no way I can think that could have happened. Sure, the confederacy believed i slavery and white supremacy, but that doesn't gurantee they would have been socialist. Besides, if the confederacy had one the civil war, they would have had close relations with the United Kingdom, as they United Kingdom was going to recognize them as an official country. I don't believe the confederacy would have taken a chance and turned socialist with England at their backs.
