Annexation.

If the Confederate States won AND has annexed the United States, then Abraham Lincoln would have probably been executed and a new president would be elected. Not even a year later, a second American civil war would have started due to the Northern anger against the Confederacy's ideas, probably deadlier than the first one and harsher. The country would have been more segregated and people of different political opinion or ethnicity would strongly disagree with each other, meaning America would have been more unstable. I wouldn't have been born either.

Secession.

If the Confederate States won the war but have not annexed the Union, it would have been lands of European companies and slave trade, meaning the CSA would be too dependent on foreign trade and slavery combined rather than some bits of self-sufficiency and actual work. The United States would have still existed today, but it would be weaker and probably more unstable.

The Confederates were never intending to annex the rest of the country, they just wanted to break off. At most, they would've taken border states and territories like Kentucky or New Mexico.

But yeah, they would've certainly been highly tied to Britain and France because of their cash crops.

Edit:
Although they would've been pressured into giving up slavery like Peat said, if at the very least to raise their public image with the populations of their European trade partners/allies(?).
