What do you think the world would look like today if the Confederacy had won the US Civil War?

On Feb 9, 1861, the Confederate States of America was formed with Jefferson Davis, a West Point graduate and former U.S. Army officer, as president, starting what came to be known as the (American) Civil War (1861–1865). The map would look like this.
After four bloody years, on April 9, 1865, Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his Confederate Army to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Court House the village of Appomattox in Virginia, ending the war and beginning reconstruction.
But what if things had not turned, say at Gettysburg; or what if Sherman’s famous march to the sea was not so decisive.
If the South had been victorious, what would the US/CS look like today. Would the Western Territories be Union, Confederate, or independent?
