Point of Divergence
Jefferson Davis purchases a slave practicing Vodun, in 1859 right before the civl war. The Slave is given the name Abbot Baker by Jefferson Davis. The slave attempts a very big risk in 1861 at the start of the Civil War, he begins preaching Vodun to Jefferson Davis in a bid to get him his freedom. Jefferson Davis begins to secretly do Vodun rituals by the end of the year, and begins his plan to force the practice of Vodun on the entire Southern United States.

The Plan

 * Jefferson Davis would create a secret army of former black slaves, convert them to Vodun, attempt to convert poor whites to Vodun, then finally gun down the Confederate Congress building with it. He would then begin to kidnap Children, both black and white, and force convert them to Vodun.

The Success

 * Jefferson Davis successfully murdered the Congress, however many confederate elite fled into Texas, where they would create their government in exile. The Union attempted to exploit the chaos by sending an army of 200,000 to capture Richmond, however an epidemic wipes out their Army. Jefferson Davis uses this to claim that Mawu has done a divine intervention and is putting her support behind the Vodun Theocracy, which leads for many to rally behind the new Government. The year is 1864, and events begin to significantly diverge from our world from then on.
