Did the CSA win?
I've always felt that the Civil War at it's root was about rich and powerful white men trying to hold on to the power that they had at all costs.
Rich and powerful southern white men were seeing that the world was going in a direction that would diminish their power and eventually they went to war in an effort to keep things from changing.
There's no EO bringing back slavery (yet) but today it feels like the CSA actually won in the end. Rich and powerful white men of the 20th and 21st centuries felt as if they were being replaced and sidelined and using the same playbook that got used in the 1800s, they radicalized common white men to support policies that would keep them in power. And now they finally have it.
