I've long argued that the Union should admit they made a mistake in 1861 and wish the Confederate States (with the possible exception of Virginia) good luck with their independence. We could resettle any any lovers of Equality and Justice that wanted to move North using the land and property confiscated from the MAGAs we would deport to the South.

Without Georgia the Republicans control the Senate.

Without the whole Confederacy (not counting Tennessee and Maryland, b/c i don't remember whether they seceded), Republicans would be down by at least 12 or 14 senators. Imaginary, of course, though sometimes tempting.
The southern slavocracy was aggressively expansionist. Successful secession would almost certainly have meant that 1860 was the opening salvo of a long string of armed conflict over western territory, and probably also of wars of conquest by the CSA in Latin America and the Caribbean. I doubt there was ever any real possibility of avoiding violence; it was always going to be war and the only real question was whether slavery would survive or be defeated.
$275,00 in wardrobe expenditures for LaPierre. I appreciate a man's desire to make strong fashion statements but that sounds a touch indulgent on the donor's dime.
Seemed pretty obvious to me.
