What would the TL-191 version of rap music be like?
I think rap even if it were formed will likely be a lot different because of how the environment of black communities are in post war America.
Firstly the black population will be a lot more respected and provide more benefits than they used to back in the CSA meaning Hood culture will never because of no economic and ghetto of environment happen in the black community. Secondly, no racism against black people would be the norm after the fall of Richmond as many of the horrors of the Devastation what change attitudes to the treatment of black people.

Finally rap culture would not even happen because of how economic wealthy blacks are and treatment is in America compared to the CSA
Would it even exist given the Destruction?
I have to say very very unlikely maybe some other group will form a rap type culture.
In what way?
Because all the people who create he-man will likely never exist or work on different things in TL191 America

I don’t think would be correct to say there is no racism against black people because of the destruction. There’s still anti semitism today despite the holocaust. I do agree though that rap would be set back and much more niche due to ghetto and gang culture being much less prevalent itl.

I mean that there’s going to be lesser racism against Black people because of the devastation and anti-black racism this exist, but there’s not as far as OTL or back in the CSA days.

Original copy of If It Had Happened Otherwise, a collection of essays written in 1931 edited by J. C. Squire and published by Longmans, Green. Each essay in the collection could be considered alternate history or counterfactual history. The most notable essay in it was that of future Prime Minster of the United Kingdom: Winston Churchill; if Lee DID WIN the Battle of Camphill. The essay is written from the viewpoint of a historian in a world where the Confederate Army lost the War of Succession, and the narrator frequently asks what would have happened if this event had not occurred. The essay is an exercise of counter-counter-factual irony. With the defeat of the Confederacy, the US now set its eyes on Canada; however, the British Empire makes a deal with the United States which resulted in unification between the US and Britain as the "English Speaking Association," which prevented the First Great War.
Because Jake Featherston had no idea of the existence of this collection, relations between the CSA and the UK were still strong into the Second Great War.
The collection was banned in Britain in the years after the Second Great War, although in the 1970s, it was re-released, albeit without Churchill's essay. However, copies of Churchill's essay still exist and are easy to find, but the original version of the collection, like the picture above, is hard to find.
Churchill's essay became the basis for alternate histories in which the CSA lost the War of Succession because they lost the Battle of Camphill. Although some, such as Newt Gingrich (Speaker of the House from 1993-1995), in his Camphill trilogy, argued that the CSA would have still won the war anyways [1].

Picture of the tv series: Man in the High Sharecropper Farm, an adaption of the 1962 Novel of the same name.

Man in the High Sharecropper Farm depicts a world where the Entente Powers won the Second Great War, although it is set in the United States. The United States was split among the Entente Powers, the CSA regaining the lost territory from the Great War, annexing Washington DC, New Mexico, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, and also annexing the Bahamas and Hati. The British regained Canada (with Michigan and Maine as part of Canada) and Bermuda and created the Puppet State: the United States of the Northeast (making up of Pennsylvania, New York, and the rest of New England). The Japanese gained the Sandwich Islands and the West Coast. Utah is independent as the Republic of Deseret. The rest of the United States is a series of lawless independent states where Entente resistance grows.

The Novel only takes place in Japanese-occupied America, as the others were mentioned throughout the Novel, as it was written during the height of the Bitter Cold. There was going to be a sequel set in the CSA, but because of the author, Philip K. Dick's, hatred of the Freedom Party chose to cancel it.

In 2015, a tv adaption was released. The first season, set in 1962, depicts Jake Featherston on the last days of his life. The first season ends with the Confederacy falling into Civil War on the same day Don Partridge took the oath of office. The second season depicts anti-Entente resistance cells joining together and British intervention in the Confederate Civil War. The Second season ends with the lawless states declaring the Second United States of America. The third season depicts the Second United States invading the CSA, Deseret, and Japanese-occupied areas. The third season ends with the Japanese leaving the West Coast and the Second USA now having its full attention to liberating the Northeast and conquering the CSA. Finally, the fourth season depicts the Second USA liberating North America from the British and Confederates, ending with Partridge surrendering to the Second USA and the British withdrawing from the Northeast to stop an uprising in Quebec.
