I think you should also give Virginia's Delmarva to Maryland...

For what reason? It was populated by slave holders. It is considerably close to Richmond and the heart of CS political control. The CSA occupied southern Maryland in this timeline. Doesnt make strategic sense to me.

I suppose this would be very plausible in-context.

I cant seem to rap my brain around what "in-context" means in relation to this map.

Sorry. Meant to say "in universe" or "in the timeline..."

Would like to see more of this timeline, is this the first map?

Nope. The CSA will have to wait until 1878, when the Confederate Territory of South California will be organized and the La Paz Naval Base will see a new age of Confederate oceanic exploration, trade, and conquest.

Well, separate the horn of western Sonora, and have the Arizonan western border continue along the Colorado River to its mouth, and you can rebuild Puerto Vellarta (not sure if right name only saw this city once on a map in 12th grade) into a respectable, Confederatified port city.

I know its hard to believe, but in this case, the Confederate government actually gives them a fair deal, incorporating states as they were. Mexico was, after all, an ally to the CSA before Diaz Porfirio took power. Im sure that in time, Sonora will see a battle between cultures, with white Arizonans settling in the northwest, and the Hispanics trying to hang on to their culture in the south, but I dont see the point in unnecessary border changes.

Well it would be more economically inclined towards the whites in Arizona without really harming Sonora, since they could maybe get a little slice back from the Gadsen Purchase in return, and the government could play out this internal land exchange as a civil consolidation and friendliness between the white government and the Mexican middle class.

Well, I wasn't expecting you to change it, just putting it out there as a possibility that could exist in a Confederate state stratified by race still.

I think you should add the counties directly on the south of DC, too.

You mean add them to the USA? In this timeline, Virginia is larger and West Virginia changes its name back to "Kanawha" after the CSA wins the war. The darker khaki counties are part of the CSA. I only put them to demonstrate the differences from OTL.
