Freedom Party Guards arresting a group of negro schoolchildren in Little Rock. The "Little Rock Nine" would gain fame following the war, due to all having been sent to the same camp and surviving till the war's end.

Another look at life in Featherston's Confederacy. The photo shows the aftermath of a grafitii incident by the Freedom Party on a negro-run store. The word "Freedom" mocks and threatens the respectable blacks that run the store. The "one man" refers, of course, to the white man.

A 1950s civil rights demonstration involving thousands of Americans, including many survivors of camp determination taking to the streets to demand that the Stevenson administration fully enforce it's reconstruction policy in the occupied south and not cave into the demand of reconstructed Freedom party terrorists.

Koenig was Attorney General, right? Why the hell is the Attorney General in a military uniform, then? He ought to be in a standard black suit.
Somehow I don't see the US caving to the Freedom Party whatsoever not after the Second Great War.
No Offense ...
But, There's a Group of People Standing over there, Having Fun on The Corner ...
Why don't you Stop them, Too?

Then here the fellow is in his office.
(But wasn't Koenig also a Freedom Party Guard? If so, then that uniform pic would be appropriate.)
"Ferd Koenig looked like suet pudding in a gray uniform" as Potter tactfully noted. IIRC even the secretary of state had his own uniform, as did his flunkies.

Whats sad is how many people dont realize that thse photos are part of real life American history. But they are chillingly appropriate for a CSA victory TL.Three unidentified black victims of the Freedom Party's atrocities
Agreed. It's amazing what we sweep under the carpet. Who talks about the Trail of Tears and how many Native Americans are still living on reservations.
World famous American cartoonist Walt Disney talks about his time spent in captivity in the Confederacy during GW2. On the eve of the Confederate invasion of Ohio, he was on business in Cincinnatti. After the city had fallen to Confederate forces, he was recognized by Confederate troops and was ordered transfered to the state of Florida, where the main Confederate propaganda center was located. Rumors still circulate that he was first taken to Richmond, where he met Jake Featherston himself. Rumors also circulate that Featherston was a huge Disney fan, although he would never admit it to anyone. Regardless, Disney wound up in Orlando, Florida, where he was drafted into the Confederate propaganda department. He was assigned to the animation division, and was forced to create pro-confederate propaganda for the remainder of the war. He often got into arguments with Saul Goldman, the Chief of Propaganda, and openly and repeatedly expressed his contempt for being held prisoner. As a result, the catroons suffered. He approached his work reluctantly and only put in as little contributon as he could. He is not proud of the cartoons from those days, and wishes that he could burn every copy. He was quoted as saying "That mouse in those cartoons, that...that wasn't Mickey. That wasn't Mickey. It was a sick, twisted joke." However, with guns pointed at him, he had no choice but to comply. One noticable addition to the animation staff was a man named Tex Avery, whom Disney took a liking to, since Avery was the only man on the entire animation staff who was also critical of Featherston. Avery would eventually go to work for Disney when the war ended. Disney spent the war toiling away in Orlando, making cartoon after cartoon to keep his captors happy. Once the Confederates had surrendered, Disney was placed under arrest by the US Army and was to be tried for treason against the US government. However, he recieved a presidential pardon from President Dewey shortly after his election. He returned to his animation studio in California shortly after that, with a lot of work to catch up on. When asked if he would ever return to Orlando, he said, "No, I don't think I will ever set foot in that state again. Even looking at a map of it makes me shiver." It remained the biggest regret of his life that he served the wrong side in his country's time of need.

^That's brilliant
President Joseph McCarthy's eulogy of President Stevenson following his assassination in 1954. Although a Socialist, McCarthy was a hardliner in regards to the South, unlike Stevenson. After he left office, McCarthy was arrested for violation of Prohibition. He was pardoned following Prohibition's repeal.
Richard Nixon reaction after the success of the Nixon/Reagan ticket in the 1956 election.
He would become the first Republican President in decades, benefiting from the unpopularity of the McCarthy administration and the Democratic Party's split over Prohibition (Wet Democratic and Dry Democratic). Nixon would serve as the nation's 37th President until his resignation in 1974.

So, the post-WWII list of Presidents of the US is (so far):
Thomas Dewey (D), 1945-1953?
Adlai Stevenson (S), 1953?-1954 (assassinated)
Joseph McCarthy (S), 1954-1957
Richard Nixon (R), 1957-1974 (resigned)
Also is Prohibition ever mentioned in TL-191? I don't remember.
