The odds of a Confederacy surviving a war led by Douglas? Non-existent, though there wouldn't be an anti-slavery amendment.

Douglas in power means the upper south, at worst, goes to the same status as otl Kentucky. Kentucky remains Union outright.

The Confederacy gets crushed, easily.

And, of course, all that ignores that with Douglas elected, there would be no Confederacy.
