Kind of an obscure question, but what do you y'all think would happen to what became the US Virgin Islands in a timeline where Britain and France aided the CSA in successfully seceding?
It depends heavily on the capability of the CSA's military and economic power and the strenghth of their fleet. If the Confederate Cuba cliché is already fulfilled, the CSA does have a rather good springboard for further expansion in that part of the Caribbean, including the area of the Virgin Islands, since they are relatively close.
Another reason I ask this question is because a few prominent early Black nationalists came from the USVI OTL, including a few Garveyists, so they could be either butterflied away, a thorn in the CSA's side from the US if they emigrate to New York as per OTL, or less likely, somehow get the wherewithal to agitate from within the CSA.
Problem is, a Confederate Cuba would likely break the CSA appart from internal political divisions, plus the stress of suppressing a revolution on a mountainous Tropical island.
And that's assuming that Spain, the UK and Union all don't have a problem with the Confederacy taking the place over (which would trigger another war, and one the CSA certainly can't win.)
