It'd be interesting if this caused Russia to keep Alaska and they found oil. Once they started really gaining power, we might have seen Canada/America war not disimilar to the Korean War where the communist North was trying to muck with the weaker South.
The CSA would have mopped the floor with Mexico, thus taking not just Tex/AZ/NM/CA., but probably expanding well into Central America. Being so agrarian, they'd do well with so much farmland and they would have been able to develop the land better than the weaker Mexican economy could at the time, too. The CSA may have become, for all intents and purposes, an agrarian empire (like what US corporations are doing now, only more overtly).
