Mexico was independent from Spain by then, so I'm not sure why they would've wanted to join the Confederacy. I also highly doubt that the Confederacy was ever strong enough to force Mexico into the Confederacy. Mexico would've quickly aligned with the Union and put that down.

I took a political science class in the south...the professor was southern but spent a lot of time razzing the confederacy. Some of the students were borderline crying. If a yankee had said the exact same things I fear they would have taken up arms.
