Wasty: I'd say fairly similar. Although Zootopia being founded was the 'joint effort' of multiple nations and so it remained a sort of neutral, sovereign place, North Mammalia was still colonized by the Kittish, at least on the east coast. The Mexicat and Prench weren't traded to North Mammalia, but agreed to join into a coalition with the colonies once they had broken away from Kitten after the revolutionary war. This would essentially end up laying the blueprint for how North Mammalia would go on to function in the future, with groups of states making up 'regions' largely created by previous territorial lines.
The civil war still happens, though it's less about slavery and more about economic priorities and representation in the United New Kingland government. Slavery does exist, but what with it being scattershot among a variety of different species it was...significantly harder to justify why one species should be slaves and another shouldn't. Thus slavery was less popular and largely looked down upon by both sides of the conflict. I imagine slavery, in terms of Alambtic Corridor States was probably more akin to the Roman version, whereas slaves could earn freedom and become naturalized citizens. But the United New Kingland region of North Mammalia would take the position of slavery being an absolute non-starter, and the Atlambitc Corridor maintained that 'earned freedom' form of slavery in a very limited capacity for several years after the conflict.
I wouldn't say the south won in this war, more like both sides reached a point where they were willing to agree to make what would become the "Atlambtic Corridor States" its own grouped region after significant losses on both sides. In the end though, it only took about another fifty years for the "Atlambtic Corridor States" to largely align with the United New Kinglish States in terms of economic pursuits and their stances on slavery.
Kitten meanwhile would continue to colonize much like its real-world counterpart, squatting in Bindia, and taking Hog Kong. It would largely still be unpleasant for Bindia, and reflected on guiltily by modern Kittish folk. Great Kitten would, however, have had a great deal less colonized areas in Afrikat in this universe, as South Afrikat played the role of competing colonizer when it came to that continent. And despite how big and developed South Afrikat is today, it is still plagued by a host of Mammalian Rights issues and other horrors. They even had their own version of an Arpartied, the effects of which are still being felt today.
Oh also, Alaska and Hawaii are not part of the NMU in this universe. Pawaii is considered part of Japanda, and Alaska is partitioned into the "Klondike Region" and Sibearia, with sibearian soil spilling onto the North Mammalian continent. Naturally, this made the cold war that much scarier with having Grussian outposts on North Mammalian soil, and also made Canidea and its regions more war ready and on-guard than its counterpart in our world.
