The basic premise is faulty. At no time during its existence did the Confederate States of America seek to conquer the United States. The CSA's constantly stated goal was to be left alone as an independent nation, i.e. being the big fish in the small pond rather than the small fish in the big Union. Any territorial expansion would have been southward toward the "Golden Circle" of Central America and the Caribbean. It would not even have been remotely feasible to conquer and subjugate the USA, which had much more land and people who were hostile to the South, nor would it have been desirable to do so, as the whole point of Secession was to divorce the South from those lands and people.
