When would be the best point in time to break up the U.S. into at least four countries? The countries don't all have to declare independence at once, but within 50 years of your PoD.
California and Texas stay independent and the Confederacy wins independence.
POD: Texas stays independent, we'll say 1835 as it. California is never annexed and the Civil War sees the south let go peacefully in 1861.

Not that they wouldn't want to...that they couldn't..the beging of the Civil War..in 1850..rather than the Compromise of 1850..and the North would be much weaker, and the Old northwest..like Minnesota and Wisconsin and Illinois and Iowa would be much more attached to the South by way of the Mississippi.Why wouldn't the Union want to incorporate the West Coast?

I'm thinking about doing a timeline where the antebellum US is ruled primarily by slave-owners from Virginia like Jefferson. When the Civil War breaks out, the Yankees are the rebels, and the Southerners are defending the United States. The North still wins, but it's a much different kind of victory than in OTL. First, they have to gain independence from the South. Then, they have to conquer the South under a new independent government. How does that sound?
