The CSA Trilogy: An Alternate History/Historical Novel about Our Vast and Beautiful Confederate States of America -- A Happy Story in T, Paperback/Howard Ray White

Descriere

Description This alternate history/historical fiction novel, is presented as a trilogy: 150 years of the Confederate States of America, from its formation in early 1861, to the 2011 celebration of the sesquicentennial of what has become the Greatest Country on Earth. A trilogy, because it climaxes three times. Part 1 -- This alternate history of years 1861 and 1862 differs remarkably from truthful history. Herein you learn how Confederates won recognition of their independence, accepted the North's African Americans, and negotiated a boundary separating the two countries. Within the Confederacy were Indian Territory (what became Oklahoma), and land west of Texas, out to Southern California. The story then proceeds to Part 2. Part 2 -- Our alternate history next explains how many more new States are subsequently added: Cuba, six States from the northern region of Mexico, Russian America (known to us as Alaska) and the Hawaiian Islands. All slaves are soon emancipated, embarking on happy, successful lives for them and future generations. These rapid events, remarkably consistent with truthful history of those regions and times, tantalize the reader concerning what might have been. Part 3 -Confederates create a vibrant modern economy, accelerated by the immigration of men and families of remarkable talent, thereby facilitating a rapid industrial expansion -- accomplished without losing the cherished principle of State Sovereignty. When Japan attacks the State of Hawaii, Confederates are again drawn into war. They succeed in winning that one, too, and Asia is far different as a result. The story concludes with the heart-warming celebration of the Confederate Sesquicentennial at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Upon reviewing the manuscript, Dr. Clyde N.
