TL 191 is well known for its parallelisms with OTL, some being on the nose, like the launch of Operation Blackbeard on June 22, 1941, or the fact that the Freedom Party was founded by one Anthony Dresser. But there are many ways in which Tl 191 is quite different than OTL.
For example, Featherston and the Freedom party were created as expies of Hitler and the Nazi party. But the two fascist movements were different in ideology, governing strategy and goals.
The ideology of Featherston and his movement is about revenge. Revenge against the Yankees for winning the First Great War, revenge against the blacks for the Red Rebellion, revenge against the Whigs for losing the war, etc. While the Freedom party is viciously racist against black Confederates, the party seems ambivalent or positively disposed to other oppressed racial groups, like American Indians, Chicanos and Jews. The Freedom Party's racism against blacks is very different from Nazi antisemitism. While blacks are associated with leftism due to the Red Rebellion, there is no overarching conspiracy theory like Jewish Bolshevism. There also is no quest for Confederate living space. While Jake the Snake wants the territories lost in GWI back, plus interest, there are no plans to eradicate white Yankees and settler virtuous southern farmers in Ohio. While the Freedom party is white supremacist, there is no concept of an "Aryan race" which needs to be protected from degeneration.
While governing, the Freedom party seems to work within the system, and not replace it outright. The flag isn't changed, there are the Freedom Party guards, but they don't seem as powerful or influential as OTL's SS and Waffen-SS were. Featherston's successor is the Confederate VP, etc.
A few other ones:
Jazz would probably be limited to the South, and unfortunately it might not have survived the population reductions
With a Central Powers victory in Europe, would artistic movements like dada or German expressionism come to prominence?
