Some truths to the movie. Saw it last night. I don't think the South was that powerful to conquer the North even with British and French help. If the Union lost Gettysburg, it would have been a matter of time before Lincoln asked for help from the Western theater and got it. The Confederate Army getting to nearly Harrisburg was practically a fluke. And even in the Cumberland Valley west of Harrisburg, the Confederate Army was losing a lot of steam. The CSA had more interest in Mexico than it did conquering the Union. I do think the CSA would have been more aggressive with Mexico with its "Tropical Empire" than the USA hence conquering a few northern Mexican states, but I also think the CSA would have isolated themselves even further with European powers.
