Yep, I know this was mentioned by the devs in the past so Pdox fanboys might have already heard of this but an official announcement is here. Dev diary provided which is p. cool.
Paradox said:From the development team behind Hearts of Iron and Europa Universalis, Victoria II: A House Divided introduces a new starting point in 1861 allowing players to experience the US Civil War from the start, from the era of absolute monarchies, encompassing expansion and colonization, culminating in the emergence of the US as a global superpower at the dawn of the 20th century.
A brand new developer diary uncovers more of the development process of the upcoming expansion and can be found at http://tinyurl.com/5uh2jvv
Victoria II: A House Divided is scheduled for release in Q1 2012 and will be published worldwide by Paradox Interactive with a suggested retail price of $19.99/€19.99/£14.99.
