SENGOKU CONFEDERATA
In the final days of the American Civil War, the states of Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina saw that the war was beginning to go south (literally) and recalled their troops from the North, much to centralized Confederate chagrin. Unexpectedly, an eleventh hour push into Washington DC succeeded in capturing Lincoln, and under pain of death forced him to sign a rather generous peace treaty.
Because of the distrust, regionalism expanded massively. Each state tried to expand the provisions of the Articles of Confederation to the utter most amount plausible and then some, to ensure that wars between the states. State militias and governments became more important than the national government. Soon, the president in Montgomery was just a figurehead, normally a representative of a powerful southern family.
Thus, the Warring State period began.
The CSA eventually polarized between states lead by Georgia, who had abandoned slavery for mass industrialization, and Texas, who soon began to enslave Native Americans and even some poor Whites as the need for efficiency increased. Even then, states switched allegiance between them, though the current war in South Carolina began to show that it was necessary to chose one group.
The CSA united once, to defeat a second Union invasion in 1875. The Union was defeated again, with help from Europe, but strongly Unionist states revolted and formed their own governance in Tennessee.
And thus, the Confederate states lie internally shattered like a broken plate, each piece fighting against the other for dominance. However, in 1885, a certain North Carolinian politician would find himself in power, and through political mechanizations in America and in Europe, slowly began the processes that would unite the Confederacy and lead the CSA into the 19th century.
