Lordganon, thanks. I'm thinking that the North would be much more socialist, while the South would have been even more imperialist than the U.S. was. Perhaps the American Indians in the North would have had a slightly better deal -- and maybe even in the South, too.

I imagine the South would have confronted Maximilian in Mexico, but the Europeans would have been more likely to intervene in South America and Caribbean.

Also, Japan might have taken us on sooner than 1941.

As far as socialism is concerned that might have led to a conflict between the North and the South. Perhaps we might have been on different sides in World War I. I find this fascinating.
