A fresh start for the South as part of America, without any Confederate memorials to pine over.
I see. and of course, Redneck Culture would be dramitacally diffrent, as Neo-Confederaism would be a big no no.
Looks good. Consider it canon.
Sure, I'd be interested to see more.
Richmond is much smaller than it was prior to the Second Great War, both in overall size and in total population. There are no Confederate government buildings or monuments of any kind left.
Southern culture is generally subdued, and with the possible exception of the "Dixie Modern" housing and interior designs inspired by Braco architecture and art in the 1980s, there is little that distinguishes it from US culture as a whole. As of 2000, there is a deep sense of remorse and shame that permeates Southern society over the atrocities committed by the Featherston regime.
I think that is a fair assessment.
I would say no for a number of reasons. Featherston would be portrayed more negatively than OTL, more evil.
so the History Channell doesen't show thousands of documentaries on Freedomist CSA and it's wierdness. or video games don't have WW2 depicted with the Freedomists replacing Nazi's?
The History Channel's analogue from TTL (at least in the United States) is called the History Network. Funded both by the Department of Education and the Department of Technology, the History Network is well-regarded for its award-winning programs and specials that span across many different events, nations, and time periods.
On the other hand, the Freedom Party has inspired a lot of fictional villains in TTL, in the worlds of cinema, literature and (later), video games.
Sometime during the second half of the twenty-first century in TTL.
Nope. Why? The effects of those wars will run deeper than OTL, and people will wish to avoid the issue. So, expect more serious, varied documentaries, and fictional enemies replacing Southerners.
And a President from the former Mexican states? An Caribbean President? Another Canadian one? A Mormon one?!
I'll bet there's even an alt-Godwin's Law involving Featherston.
The precise dates are beyond the scope of this timeline, I'm afraid.
Yup, especially as the Combo-Net becomes more and more widespread throughout the 2000s and 2010s.
Hmm, possibly. That could be a description of another trope entirely though.
I don't know why, but for some reason this just made me think of this: instead of James Bond, its "the names Clancy, Tom Clancy"
The White Skull?
The Boys from Madagascar?
the 12 book long series by alternate History writer Geoff Jones, following the question of "What if Order 191 was found by the union army"?
Django Unchained (2012) - A fictional account of four OSS operatives, accompanied by the German spy King Schulz, go deep into the heart of the Confederate States to assassinate Jake Featherston, Donald Partridge, Saul Goldman and Ferdinand Koenig at a film showing. They are unknowingly assisted by Django, an escapee from the Confederacy's Population Reduction, who is planning a parallel assassination attempt. Throughout the film they are challenged by Colonel Calvin Candie of the Freedom Party Guards. The movie is notable for diverging from actual history by allowing the conspirators to succeed, presumably ending the Second Great War in 1943.

I know such a movie wouldn't actually be made ITTL because of parallelism, but it would be funny to see.

My little contribution to this TL: An early 80s ad for Eagle Airways.
(The picture is a reworking of this hypothetical profile art for a TWA-operated Lockheed L-2000. The Lockheed L-2000 was one of the OTL 60s American supersonic airliner projects, but unlike the Concorde or the Tu-144, it never got past the mockup stage. I figured it would be a sufficient stand-in for an ATL cousin of the Concorde.)
