The interesting thing (well, one of them) about the situation in the South was how the aristocratic minority managed to convince the lower classes that the system in place
1) was what the founders originally planned and
2) was the only thing keeping them from destruction, economically and socially.
I think that someone would have come along and led some sort of revolution in a victorious Confederacy to both free the slaves and take down the aristocrats.
Maybe we end up with the People's Confederate States of America in the end.

Did I forget to add the part where time-travelers would have supplied the South with AK-47s, radios and other modern weapons to win in the first place?
