Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

Not if you wanted a somewhat unified nation. Go too far with that you either have to exterminate the population or deal with permanent insurrection and guerrilla warfare/terrorism in that area.

OMG! Dixie Isis
They would blow up the capitol and the Brooklin Bridge after the 1883 inauguration

Nah likely just near permanent regional instability and hostility. Robberies, skirmishes, small
scale 
infrastructure damage. You see a bit of this already with Wild West outlaws (many were ex-confederate soldiers)

Probably a much more violent and influential version of the Klan as well.
Is not like the yankees were in love with the darkies

I think
there'd be that too I guess 
but it'd be likely more of a sideshow to guerrilla campaigns done by ex-confederates.

Yankees were very much in love with the darkies at the time. Like literally in "Kingdom Coming".
The danger was this would turn into a really weird race war with blacks supported by Northern whites killing off all the Southerners. You see a taste of this in the trans-Mississippi and the western theater in 1864-1865. Like look up the dialogue between Forrest and Canby when Canby is saying "I didn't tell my black troops to stop taking prisoners, I just totally supported them when they decided to."
