The CSA would probably be a second rate nation and the USA would be much less than it is.
As for WWI and II, the south would have been a traditional ally of France and would have fought on that side assuming the wherewithall to help existed more in the CSA than say Brazil. As for the USA some say that they might have come down on the side of Kaiser Bill. If that would have been enough to make a difference, there might have never been a Hitler.
That would have been the only good result of a southern victory. In this country we are lucky it turned out the way it did.
Speaking of alternate history Henry Turtledove has writen quite a series of somewhat interesting but rather dull fiction on the South winning. He speculated three more wars between the USA and CSA with CSA winning the first two and the USA winning the last two.
He also wrote a single novel called The Guns Of The South, with South African time travelers arming Lee with AK47's to win the war.
