I think depending on the popularity of Empire and the expansion might determine the fate of the future TW game and whether it moves into the 20th century or goes to ancient China, Greece or Japan as suggested by the survey, IMO.

What was going on in Europe during the 1860's? Were people drinking their tea and reading the newspapers and laughing at the Americans and their little war? The only global implication that I can up with off the top of my head is that instead of having one trading partner in the US, you'll have two, the USA and the CSA.
