What if the South had won or forced a conditional peace. Would the C.S.A. had divided and weakend the Union to the point where we (U.S.A) could not have won WW1 and similarly been unable to stop Hitler? Could the C.S.A. have found empathy with the Nazis' racial supremacy? Would we all be under the Nazi heel to this day?

had the south won, slavery would've taken another 50 years or so to be abolished, but the civil rights movement in the union would likely have progressed much quicker.
as for Nazi ideals, not a chance. The south was fighting for their rights and freedoms, slavery just fell under a moral code that is abhorred today. Despite that, they would've maintained an ideal of states rights and attracted a heavy anarcho-capitalist crowd that's libertarian ideals would've eventually carried out abolition. In my opinion, both the C.S.A. and the U.S.A. would have had a are much darker time during the last 150 years. It's likely that the "we are the opposite of our enemy" attitude would've made the U.S.A. more socialist just to counter the southern freedom ideals that they likely would've embodied by now.
The Confederacy never would've joined the Nazi's, but the Union may have become communist or at least more communitarian.
That and cigarettes would probably be cheaper.

Mr, Lincoln was a simple man in extrordinary ways, he had such difficult times, depression.. and so many defects that us regular people have, but he also had love for mankind, and a "charisma" AND a voice for the americans, and the world actually that was heard, and experienced..
my savior is Jesus Christ,
i do remember a few quotes that Mr. Lincoln said that i really hold on lto;; 'A MAN IS AS HAPPY AS HE DECIDES HE IS GOING TO BE"
and the other one was,
"A MAN WHO REPRESENTS HIMSELF IN A COURT OF LAW, HAS A FOOL FOR AN ATTORNEY"
Mr. Lincoln, lives on in the hearts of those who loved him..including mine,

Lincoln shouldn't have wasted over 250,000 good American lives to get the South back for us. For what? Industry? No. Education? No. For what? Nothing. Should have let them go and let the Mexicans get 'em,
hahaha...
