1. Nothing on the coasts wins without allies. With no way to get supplies in the coasts would get hit HARD by a lack of foodstuffs and manufacturing from the midwest and south. Remember what California and TX produce mostly doesn't hold as much value in a total war.
2. Depending on how long the fight goes on, water becomes important. If CA loses access to fresh water they all die. If im fighting CA...that's the first thing I would do.
3. The North East and Rust Belt might join forces. Mostly because trying to fight people like the Michigan Militia, in the winter is a mistake.
4. TX is one of the ONLY states that actually has enough of just about everything to be self-sustaining. However, its so BIG that deploying troops would take so long that a small insurgent group could take say, Houston with little resistance if it came from within.
5. The south would actually be REALLY hard to fight because of the sheer weirdness of the terrain. Its mountains and swamps and rivers and woods. And if you were the south that's where you would fight.
In the end it actually would be who gets supplies from Canada or other countries and who controls the massive food source in the middle of the country. I'd put my money on TX or the NE if the Industrial Midwest joined them. I think both CA and the South would cannibalize themselves. Most black people in the south wouldn't fight for "the South" and CA is more politically divided than people think it is.
Deploying would be tough but you have planes to move people around.
AND
TX can easily lock the country down by controlling the oil. Take over Louisiana and lock the Gulf and oil down even further. In this fight, there's no outside interference from other countries.....so no Saudi Arabian oil. The states can only use what is in the U.S. Other nations have zero involvement.
TX would be smart to lock the Plains down and put a stranglehold on food. Leave the South alone since the NE/Mid-Atlantic will probably try engage them first (potentially a BIG mistake).
West has great natural defenses but would struggle to mount an offensive attack since they have A LOT of land but comparatively few people to defend it. They're better off just sitting and waiting and letting whoever wins East of the Rockies to come to them.
