We'd be hundred years further along the scale of progress than we are now.
Or what is sometimes referred to as the "redneck revolt" within the occupied states might have persisted in the form of a campaign of attrition.

Odious as it seems by today's standards, Jim Crow represented a stop-gap measure designed to temper the hostility of a time in which both sides had suffered extensively, and the entire economic and social structure had to be re-oriented. The Southern states were readmiitted to the union and the "Reconstruction Republican junta" lost its domination of the parliamentary process within twenty years.
