The famous Leon Vaughn Band playing at a restaurant on the boardwalk at Sea Isle City circa 1944 to celebrate the end of the war. All along the broadwalk of Sea Isle City massive celebrations were held with any survivors of the Population Reduction or their American relatives getting free food and drinks for the entire duration of the festivities.

Black Confederate immigrants, with some White Confederate dissidents, at a Shinto shrine in Tokyo circa 1940. They are refugees and asylum seekers hoping to stay in Japan to wait out the inevitable war.​

They would remain in the land of the rising sun for the entire war and would be joined by more Black Confederates from the CSA’s southwestern states, as Japanese charity organisations paid for the trip of any Black Confederate would wanted to “leave the Americas and the horrific memories associated with them behind”. Though objections by government officials and members of Japanese society did spring up, the harrowing tales of the suffering of Blacks during the Population Reduction swayed many a Japanese to welcome the new arrivals into their homeland.

God this is getting depressing. Any photos of more lighthearted scenes?
Babe-Ruth-1024x641.jpg


Boston Red Sox baseball Player George Herman "Babe" Ruth, seen in Fenway park, Boston, in 1930. Already a record-setter, Ruth would go on to earn the Boston Red Sox every Championship game until his retirement in 1936
While Baseball did not catch on as a national sport in comparison to Football, it was still immensely popular in the New England area, and the long-running competition between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees was almost as competitive as the ongoing rivalry between the USA and CSA. A brief media scandal occurred when it was rumored that the Red Sox manager, Harry Frazee, wanted to trade Ruth to the Yankees, but this was proven to be false.

A photo of the Interstate Highway system under construction in Indiana, circa 1954. This project was spurred on by President Charles W. La Follette during his second term who wanted a more efficient highway system which permitted ease of travel between states.

A photograph taken by a US Navy guard of three German U-Boats of 11th U-Boat Flotilla at St. Johns, Newfoundland, circa 1943. During the war, the US Navy would permit the use of the St. John's Naval Base to the Imperial German Navy U-Boats, which the first of them would arrive there in August of 1942. Over the course of the war, the flotilla would have a total of 37 boats attached to it and would operate in the North Atlantic against the Royal Navy and British shipping to their garrisons in Iceland and in Greenland and would occasionally come into contact against Confederate submarines and warships.

A bust of Maximillien Robespierre in Paris, France. After the defeat of the Kingdom of France in the Second Great War, the Fourth French Republic developed a deep reverence of the heroes of the French Revolution, who's positive accomplishments and reforms were emphasized in history textbooks by a France seeking to distance itself from its Actionist past through emphasizing the French Revolution, especially the progressive side of said revolution.

Wasn't it canon in TL 191 that Baseball becomes the de facto "National Sport" in the US while in the CSA Soccer became the "National Sport".

If I remember right "American Football" also becomes more or less what it was in OTL in the US while being discouraged in the CSA.

So in terms of sports the Confederacy is closer to Europe or Latin America while in the US it's more or less what it was OTL.
 
At the start of the great war football was different as the union allowed forward passing and tyr Confederates only allowed laterals. From what I remember by the 1930s the two had merged along the union version of the game

if they were looking to celebrate progressive ideas and leave the Actionist dictatorship behind, i doubt they'd be celebrating Robespierre....
