No historical event is exactly like another one, especially when decades separate them. But I'm not sure quite what you're asking about. How would the South not have been represented in the United States, given its senators, representatives, its predominance in important Cabinet posts and the Supreme Court, and it's near monopoly over the antebellum presidency?
