Traitors who fought for one of the dumbest causes ever - to keep black slaves, breed them & import even more of them. Now, consisder the fact that the slaves would inevitably be freed. I think it's kinda obvious that if the southerners had won the war, their country wouldn't even resemble Brazil right now. It would resemble Africa.

& import even more of them

The importation of slaves was banned in 1807, 60 years before the war even started.

If the Confederacy won independence, they wouldn't have their economy destroyed, and probably would have some kind of apartheid on their own terms

True. But considering the fact the southernerns loved their slaves so much they were willing to secede and start a war over the right to keep them, it's entirely possible that they would have started importing them again after the war to "boost the economy".

and probably would have some kind of apartheid on their own terms

Sooner or later, the apartheid would have come to an end as well, and the South's white population still would be forced to live with extremely large masses of blacks.

Anyway, we can speculate all day about what would the South be like had it won the war. But the truth is, the only solution to the black problem is deporting them all back to Africa. Apartheids and other forms of segregation do nothing but postpone the inevitable. This is why I have always admired Lincoln who was willing to solve this problem, only to get killed by a retarded confederate supporter.

Please educate yourself. Spread this video far and wide- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPiDqUB9k1I

It's an interview of a confederate regular and his opinion of the politics at the time. Spoiler alert, he didn't own slaves and had no ill will towards Africans. 99% of the south never owned slaves and were fighting for their homes and culture (as in hospitality and day to day life, hill-billies in Tennessee had nothing to do with blacks) just like EVERYONE ELSE was fighting for in wars before Vietnam where mass media made war political.

If you want to call anyone evil in the Confederacy, then bring your anger towards the plantations and the government doing financials. The regular soldiers and everyday citizens were indifferent about the politics and just wanted their lives left intact. A best case scenario would have been the lynching of the slave owners and the repatriation of the slaves in Ghana/Liberia with a good-will check.
