Let's say the South won in the American Civil war and they kept slavery. The Cotton gin is invented a couple years after the war has ended. What happens? Do they abolish slavery or keep it and only pay them at a small percentage?

The whole of the British Empire blockades the USA, eventually forcing them to abolish slavery anyway.

The northern states advance rapidly and along with canada become a beacon of enlightenment for all the world. With no retarded "red vs blue" mentality even the south advances forward way more than possible.

Religion dies out in north america round the 40s, atom bombs stop ww2 from happening. Extra jews in world make science advance faster.

Whole world is infinitely better.

I think you meant science barely survives due to bankers holding on to their religion.

If the cotton gin wasn't invented until after the Civil War the South would have put more slaves to work in death-trap industrial revolution factories which is WHY the won the war?
