The Confederate States of America in the Southern Victory-Series have won the Civil War and another war twenty years later (see How Few Remain) and face a built-up hereditary enmity of the United States.

Confederate Institution
Presidency

As in the United States, the President is the head of state and the most powerful person in the country. Prior to Jake Featherston's election, no president of the C.S.A could hold more than one 6-year mandate, although Featherston's predecessor, Burton Mitchell, was allowed to run on his own since he originally took power when Wade Hampton V was assassinated. After the passing of a constitutional amendment, the president was eligible for unlimited reelection. Before the rise of the Freedom Party, the President was always elected as the candidate of the Whig Party

Supreme Court

Sometime after the end of the War of Secession, the C.S. Supreme Court was started with similar function as its U.S. counterpart. The supreme court was eliminated by order of Jake Featherston after it struck down his economic aid program.

Slavery

Slavery was continued in the Confederate States through the Second Mexican War. In 1881, President James Longstreet introduced into Congress a constitutional amendment banning slavery, which was passed. As a result, Britain and France entered an alliance with the Confederate States and helped knock the United States out of the war. While slaves were technically freed, they were not able to become citizens, were forced to carry passbooks, and remained heavily segregated

Foreign Policy
The C.S.A. has developed long lasting alliances with England, France and Mexico. These alliances helped them win the War of Secession and the Second Mexican War. The U.S.A. has been a traditional enemy with the C.S.A. They have fought four wars against each thus far in TL-191. After the Second Mexican War the C.S.A. tried to isolate itself from its northern neighbor, but this policy was unsuccessful. War was almost fought in the 1890s when the C.S. tried to build a canal in Panama and the U.S. protested. War was prevented when the U.S. backed down.
