Assume the South won; thus, they are their own nation. What would America look like today? Would the South be more powerful than America? Would America struggle to even be a superpower?

first of all...a huge pet peeve of mine:

a nation is a politically active ethnic group. If the confederacy had won the civil war, it would be a country...NOT a nation. THere would be a white, a black, and a red nation within the confederacy. It would be properly labeled a 'white empire'....as in a country composed of multiple nations where one of them rules is an empire (british empire, roman empire, etc).

I also really hate hypotheticals like this because naturally it would have endless influences on the future. Perhaps WW1 would not have happened.

Perhaps a large population of blacks would flee to the north....and northern whites were a lot mroe racist than southern whites...so this would cause some critical political instability.  

SO i have no idea.

I do know the tractor was invented the year that the war was lost...which is a tragic irony...because the tractor makes black people obsolete.
