Confederate States of America

I saw a movie on the Sundance channel that really disturbed me called C.S.A. (Confederate States of America) This movie showed a view of a post Civil War America with the south as the winner of the war. And I thought it was very intellectually poor. It did not fully take into account the economic impact that slavery would have had on the C.S.A. during the industrial revolution.

I would have probably took the approach that slavery would have probably expanded to the north for the purpose of reconstructing the north. Then with the whole country having access to that kind of cheap labor would have used slaves for all of the new industry jobs especially the non skilled labor jobs. Which would have resulted in very little economic booms in the C.S.A and all of the products produced in America would have went overseas and no one in America would be able to afford any of the great products coming out of America.

The poverty would have resulted in the country further degeneration into oligarchical tyranny causing a socialist revolution and the C.S.A would have become the Socialist States of America.
